Restore primary redirect to
TikTok, one of the most viewed articles on Wikipedia and the most likely destination for this term.

Retarget to
TikTok. That article also has a hatnote to the dab page so no issues on confusing our readers. --

Retarget to

Weak retarget to
TikTok per above.
Tik Tok (song) does manage to receive a 30th the pageviews of TikTok, however. J947 † edits 05:11, 1 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Sadly we don't have WikiNav specifically for "Tik Tok".
https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Tick_tock says that there were 1.4k incoming views, and 486 clicks were made to TikTok (~35%). It's the 4th entry in the first list there.
Page views for the Tik Tok redirect show that in the same month there were 543 views, which could mean ~90%. In earlier months there's been a steady ~350 views of the redirect. Do we think that something changed last month? In any event, I think listing both 'tick tock' and 'tik tok' variations in the same list is a bit too confusing. Even if the pronunciation is probably the same, the spelling is different by two consonants, so I'm not sure that the claim that an average English reader will conflate the two carries more weight than the claim that the average English reader means the social network. --

Keep all - Redirects are
WP:CHEAP, and alternate capitalization systems (title case vs sentence case) are precisely the sort of thing that is useful to redirect.
