Wolfs Fang Runway → Wolf's Fang Runway – This seems to be misspelt. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 16:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – looking at the sources, most of them have an apostrophe: Aviation International News, New Zealand Herald, CNN, official website. The exceptions: official website (previously), AirportGuide. Since an old version of the official website has no apostrophe, I think Wolfs Fang Runway should be an {{r from former name}}. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Multiple sources misspell the name, but the majority don't, as per Jlwoodwa. The name is obviously meant to evoke a wolf's fang, i.e. the canine tooth of a certain mammal. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 17:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
