clearer error message as I've put in earlier in /core

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

== Usage ==
{{subst only}}
{{Twinkle standard installation}}
{{Bot use warning|bots=[[User:TenshiBot]]}}
List new technical requests at the top of [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]]' sub-section [[Wikipedia:Requested moves#Uncontroversial technical requests|Uncontroversial technical requests]] (on sub-page [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests]], which is [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] into [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]]).

Place the following code on that page:
:<code><nowiki>{{subst:RMassist|</nowiki>{{gray|''current page name''}}|{{gray|''requested new name''}}|reason= {{gray|''reason for move''}}}}</code>
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

===To opt out of discussion, if the request is contested===
Use the code {{para|discuss|no}} if you prefer to withdraw the request if it is contested, rather than discuss it. This will suppress the "discuss" link which may be used to convert your request to a discussion on the talk page of the page which is requested to be moved.

==Deprecated parameters==
*Use of unnamed parameter {{{'''3'''}}} (for the ''reason'' message) is not encouraged, because an unnamed parameter doesn't support reasons containing an equals sign (often in web links), due to MediaWiki {{phab|T16235}}.

== Error messages ==

If not used as intended, this template may return one of the following error messages. These are not reported at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]] (WP:RM).
