Requested move

What Time Is It? → What Time Is It? (album) — Moved once and then moved back. There is a song of the same name; better to have a dab page here. —Beardo 17:36, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Oppose I previously moved the page back to What Time Is It? because there had been no discussion for the move, and no reason had been given in the edit summary. I think that the 25-year-old album written by Prince is the primary topic, compared to a Disney album track that hasn't even been released as a single yet. The current situation is fine, with a hatlink to the Disney album track from this article. I have just had to revert this page for a second time after it was moved to What Time Is It? (soundtrack) (which is clearly wrong). Masaruemoto 02:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've just noticed that ZanessaYay who has been making these page moves has received several vandalism warnings before about moving pages incorrectly or without consensus. Masaruemoto 02:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

The hatnote

I'd just like to note that I changed the hatnote to reflect the following:

• {{time}} is dependent on WP:PURGE
• Mirrors may not support the parser functions used by {{time}} and certainly won't support {{purge}}.

I've removed the hatnote. I think it distracts readers from the page's real purpose, which is to provide a quick means to navigate between articles. And most users will probably use a clock if they want to tell the time (not to mention that the time returned on the page is mostly wrong). — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 00:49, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
