How Wikipedia works
We use reliable sources when we add or change content. Here's the source that Paekākāriki is a town. If you have a reliable source that shows that it's a village, please provide it and we can take it from there.  Schwede 66  06:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Where is the evidence that it's a village? You will not last long on Wikipedia if you keep reverting other editors.  Schwede 66  07:32, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Kia ora, Paekakariki is well known as a village. It is technically a “town” but known far and wide as a village Makeba1 (talk) 07:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Please advise. Cheers. Makeba1 (talk) 07:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Reliable sources is the only thing that matters.  Schwede 66  09:03, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
