Hi I decide to make this page because I noticed similar pages for foreingh languages and cultures and thought there should be a māori equivalent so I made this page unfortunately I'm pakeha so don't know to much so it would help loads to have a māori editor on board.Luke'n'Thomas (talk) 05:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It would also help to make the examples not opaque. —Tamfang (talk) 06:28, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
