I had considered a movenotice because the title of this Act does not include a macron. ^[1] I am, however, unsure how pedantic this may be. Comments welcome.-- Te Karere ( talk) 11:19, 18 December 2011 (UTC) reply

I support the move, but don't feel strongly about it. The article was originally created as "Maori Language Act" but moved to "Māori Language Act" by the creator a few minutes later, with the explanation "change 'a' to match other uses of 'maori'". The year was added in a later move. The correct title would appear to be " Maori Language Act 1987". Since this already exists and has been edited, another admin or myself will need to perform the move.- gadfium 22:20, 18 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Yeah, the general convention is that titles (and other proper nouns) should retain their original orthography, so I agree that the macron should be removed. I know it sounds pedantic, but it's better to be as accurate as we can be. Let us know if you need any help with this. Cheers. – Liveste ( talk • edits) 20:18, 21 December 2011 (UTC) reply

At some point macrons were added to the Act, or at least to reprints, but I have not been able to find how or when this was done. I don't know whether it was done by amendment or some other means. Any info welcome. Nurg ( talk) 02:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC) reply
