Untitled

"Taranga did not know who he was until she reminded him." Say what? Could someone please figure out who's who and straighten this sentence out? Thanks, LA RoeDoe 14:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

I rewrote the article with sources. It was a bit of a mess because careless editors had intermingled traditions from various islands and countries, eg Hawaiian traditions mixed up with Māori ones. Kahuroa 11:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

I deleted two of the links because they were no longer valid. (DBOblivion 15:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Merge?

There are at least five articles about different Maui versions. Is there any way we could merge this article into this page, combining any common parts, and spliting the differences into certain sections? 104.192.129.42 (talk) 20:10, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

I agree it should be merged and highly recommend it. Maui lacks substantial overarching mythos to have a good article just on his own. Taking the different cultural articles on the character and making them section of this one, i believe, will allow this article and therefore the other to become more fleshed out and all around better more informative article.

Edits and Merges

I buffed up the general info and intro. I also merged the smaller cultural pages on Maui. I plan on making section for Hawaii and Maori, but since those articles are already fleshed out I will only make small sections for each and link to the existing articles.Big-bad-juju (talk) 02:46, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 August 2023

The request to rename this article to Māui has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Māui (mythology) → Māui – Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, a disambiguation isn't needed here. The subject of this article is the primary topic, with other articles about Māui referring to his description within specific Polynesian mythologies. Rather than disputing for being the primary, these all help to establish the overarching Māui article as the primary topic for Māui with a macron over the ā (while the island is the primary for Maui without a macron.) This is currently a redirect to this article, but I'd suggest a hatnote for linking to the disambiguation as well for clarity. Turnagra (talk) 05:17, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose removing the parenthesis will only cause confusion. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:29, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In what way? And how would any potential confusion be worse than other current examples of WP:SMALLDETAILS, such as Ice Cube and Ice cube? Turnagra (talk) 07:15, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support as SMALLDETAILS indeed covers this case. Schwede 66 09:01, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The SMALLDETAILS rationale is not sufficient, because that only deals with the "Māui" / "Maui" issue. There are, though, four articles that have the macron (the other 3 being Māui (Hawaiian mythology), Māui (Māori mythology) and Māui (Christian convert)), but this article is the primary topic of the four. I don't understand the view that removing the disambiguator will cause confusion – at least, not any more than the many other cases of PRIMARYTOPIC (or of SMALLDETAILS).

Weak oppose the other have nearly as many views (9,634) as this one (10,525)[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:30, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those 20-day figures are heavily affected by the current wildfires in Maui, and the 9,634 was for the others collectively. For the 12 months to the end of July, this one has 176,000 views, and the nearest other has 61,000. [2]. Nurg (talk) 02:39, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nominator. Primary topic with the macron. Add a distinguisher tag at the top for Maui. --Spekkios (talk) 08:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
