Weta vs W.E.T.A
editHow did this massive edit get through? http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Weta_Digital&diff=222366603&oldid=222364532 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burrito (talk • contribs) 04:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Changed all WETA to Weta. Its not an acronym, its not spelled in ALLCAPS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.55.0.200 (talk • contribs)
- That and the fact that it's not related to WETA-FM-TV/Washington, D.C. I added that fact in; please don't remove it. -- M (speak/spoken) 01:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- I believe it's still referred to as WETA. In Heavenly Creatures, it's effects are credited to W.E.T.A., so it obviously stood for something originally. I wonder what? --72.202.150.92 02:51, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- It stands for Wingnut Effects and Technical Allusions - PJ refers to this in his biography, and also explains the misspelling of the word Illusions.
- On one of the LOTR special editions , Peter Jackson states that the company was named after a bug native to New Zealand WetaDarwin-rover (talk) 00:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The early "Wingnut Effects and Technical Allusions" story is nicely covered in "The Birth of Weta"<[1], which should be in an "History" section here. Snori (talk) 00:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Evangelion movie
editAny new news on the Evangelion movie? BiggKwell 23:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Tintin Movie?
editPeter Jackson will be directing the new Tintin movie, which will be animated by Weta, but the title of the movie is unknown yet. Should it still be added to the list of movies as "Unnamed Tintin movie" or something like that? --Scuac 15:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- As long as there are reliable references cited, it can be added with some generic title to that effect, yes. However, a Wikipedia article on the film may not be created (as per notability guidelines for future films until the film has begun production and this can be confirmed with references). Good luck!

NGE Live Action Not Mentioned....
editWeta is involved in the Live Action Project of Evangelion though the film itself is in development hell. I think that what Weta themselves have stated about Evangelion itself should be put in the article. If not the movie listed with "Development Hell" right next to it. --҉ რɫՒ◌§ 9¤ ॐ 23:40, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
It's was Weta Workshop that was mentioned in the Evangelion announcement. There is no mention of Weta Digital being involved that I can see. (Weta Digital and Weta Workshop are two different companies) If there is going to be any mention it should be on the Weta Workshop page. Alavaliant (talk) 08:49, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Server Farm
editI was attending a presentation by two tools developers who mentioned that Weta Digital currently has the largest Super-Computer in the Southern Hemisphere, made up for more than 20,000 Blade Servers. Apparently it uses a comparable amount of energy an aluminum smelter. 118.92.172.106 (talk) 12:55, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Company Type
editWeta Digital is not a public company, it is? Surely it is a privately held company or a subsidiary of Weta Workshop. Thoughts? --Watchsmart (talk) 09:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- Private by all accounts CicolasMoon (talk) 18:19, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- In our conclusion, as far as I believe, Weta FX (formally Weta Digital) may now have become a publicly held company after 30 years. Case closed. 2A02:C7C:3962:4200:509E:13DF:BAD7:AC7B (talk) 13:18, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- "May now" doing most of the heavy lifting. What exact evidence is there? CicolasMoon (talk) 13:40, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Title
editIn my view, the consensus reached at Talk:Wētā Workshop#Requested move 9 September 2021 should also apply to this article, so the title should be "Wētā FX". This should not constitute unacceptable stylization (as proscribed at MOS:TM), because the macron is not a mere stylistic element but rather a generally accepted part of New Zealand English orthography. See also Talk:Wētā#Requested move 14 July 2020 and the guideline WP:NCNZ. Shells-shells (talk) 17:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
