The result of the move request was: No consensus/procedural close. Situation seems to have been resolved and there does not appear to be any will among participants to get anything formal consensus filed away. (non-admin closure) ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 21:29, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

What do you know → What Do You Know? (disambiguation) – or What Do You Know?What Do You Know?. All of the topics listed on this disambiguation page are using title case. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:01, 26 March 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPath^talk 02:25, 2 April 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 03:21, 9 April 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 20:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Support [edit, although, what about its present redirect, Brain of Britain], the redirect will cover lowercase. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:59, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

• Move to What Do You Know, without the question mark. Per WP:DABTITLE, we prefer the simplest version of the title. 162 etc. (talk) 03:02, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

  All of the listed topics include a question mark. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:26, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

  And this title seems simply ungrammatical without a question mark. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:49, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

After a new edit by 162, the dab page includes only two candidate topics that aren't under "See also" as WP:PTMs, so we now have a WP:TWODABS situation with one of those topics positioned as primary. Do we need a dab page at all? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:36, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Agreed. To be specific I think you are referring to WP:ONEOTHER: If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article. Wh1pla5h99 (talk) 10:25, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

You're right. The correct reference is WP:ONEOTHER. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:48, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting as the discussion ceased without any agreement on what to be done. Alternative is a no consensus close, so the discussion being revived and finished is much preferable. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 20:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose and delete, WP:ONEOTHER.

What do you know → What Do You Know? (disambiguation) – (or What Do You Know?What Do You Know?, if we think there is no primary topic). The previous RM led to thinking this page should be deleted as an unnecessary WP:ONEOTHER dab page, so the conversation morphed into a deletion discussion. But then the disambiguation page was refined and the conclusion was to keep it. However, the original identified problems remain – i.e., all entries on the page end with a question mark, all entries on the page use title case, and omitting a question mark at the end of this phrase is ungrammatical. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:31, 15 May 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 18:03, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Support. This is still the simplest form of the term because every title has a question mark, and it reflects the majority of items. Sign² (talk) 02:11, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

• The British quiz show was in the 1960s, and the article was redirected 10 years ago, and hasn't been reinstated. Special:WhatLinksHere/What Do You Know? has only 3 other links. That history should be moved to something like What Do You Know? (radio programme) and this disambiguation can occupy the base title of "What Do You Know?". --Joy (talk) 20:07, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Still need to figure out whether or not there is a primary topic (might also want to note that saying "Support" when the proposed move is to the DAB can be interpreted as both being against a PTOPIC and as being ambivalent, and thus makes the job of a closer harder). ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 18:03, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

@SignTheSign any objections to disambiguating the radio programme redirect, by any chance? --Joy (talk) 18:46, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Nope, I don't think there's a primary topic here. Sign² (talk) 19:11, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
