TM, are you sure the move is necessary? Not that I have any objections, but it might be good to have some rules on it for consistency's sake. --OuWTB 17:14, March 30, 2015 (UTC)

Keeping it as Done alone seems fine actually, as no other pages here share such a name. We could go with That Done too. HORTON11: InboxFollow me! 17:26, March 30, 2015 (UTC)

I really want this to stay like this both for the reason I gave when moving it and also for the same reason we moved 7. I just can't handle a single English word being a title for some reason. TimeMaster (talkcontribs) 21:27, March 30, 2015 (UTC)

"I just can't handle a single Englishword being a title" is not a valid argument... Also, it is pronounced different from the English word "done". So as it stands, I'm going to have to revert your move, unless you come up with a valid argument :P --OuWTB 09:10, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

Also, "7" does mean several things, as years get a page here too, so theoretically, "7 (year)" would also be an option (though unlikely, as we do not really have a history back then). --OuWTB 09:11, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

My only two reasons are that "Done" is too short to have as a title alone and that it makes me sad when it's not like this. TimeMaster (talkcontribs) 10:27, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

You sound like Tåpas, you are complaining about nothing :( --OuWTB 10:28, March 31, 2015 (UTC)
What is Tapas? And agreed, it's an irrational desire. TimeMaster (talkcontribs) 10:30, March 31, 2015 (UTC)
