Sure, why not. Maybe Te Wai Pounamu(South Island) for the international visitors?

MODERATORS
Both seems like the way to go, and let's be consistent. There is the same discussion for Wellington with a similar idea but slightly different format
I'd be keen on that, they're both official names so it'd be fitting to have both on here!
I’d vote for this one too!
I like this idea. There are several places I haven't quite learnt in Te Reo and I get the confused but if this format becomes more common it'll be easier to learn.
Edit: I have no skin in the game so if y’all reach a consensus, or want to progress this further reach out to a friendly admin
Don't worry, I'm watching. Thanks for doing this!
Do we have opinions on punctuation?
- Te Wai Pounamu (South Island)
- Te Wai Pounamu | South Island
- Te Wai Pounamu / South Island
(that last one I'm adding myself, inspired by Aoraki / Mt Cook)
IMO the last one is the most grammatically / syntactically correct.
If the third one is a format already in use them it makes sense to go with it. I think the South Island gets a bit lost/overlooked in brackets.
3rd one for consistency!
Done!
I have no strong opinion, but I like the / since even just searching South Island comes up with that!
Sounds like a great idea!
Doesn’t bother me!
