Hello! I am new here, and likely so are you.

It's great to see local communities online - and a great time to shape how we'd like to go on.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on a display name change from Wellington to The Whanaganui-a-Tara.

This would not change the URL, or stop people finding us by searching Wellington.

Tell us what you think... Go!

There's a similar post in the South Island community (sorry, I don't think Lemmy handles links too well if you're subscribing from another instance): https://lemmy.nz/post/25709

Is anyone opposed to having this cover the Greater Wellington region rather than Wellington City?

Do we have opinions on punctuation?

Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui (Wellington)
Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui | Wellington
Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui / Wellington

And if we are saying the Wellington region, do we want that specified in the title or is "Wellington" enough?

I like this one. ^

I don't think it needs further clarification. Wellington/Greater Wellington/Wellington Region are used interchangeably.

Agree with this one, region is clear in the Maori and Wellington is interchangeable in the English

Same

I do think it's worth specifying Wellington region myself.
