Wētā macrons

[edit]

Hi Expazz. I understand your motivation in doing a global search-and-replace for all unmacronned occurrences of weta in the Wētā article, but some of those usages were from the titles of older published journal articles, before macrons were commonly used, and some were in Latin names, which don't use macrons. The latter edits broke the wikilinks to those articles as well. I've just spent an hour going through the page and checking every source manually, removing macrons where necessary. Please consider doing a manual case-by-case change if you want to do something similar in future. Leave a message on my Talk page if you want to discuss it.
