Certainly macrons are part of some official place names.<br>

E.g. Tāmaki <a href="https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/place/55840" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/place/55840</a><br>
<br>
Are your names with macrons in the gazetteer? If so, the "name" should contain the macron.<br>
<br>
Care to share an example of the edit war?<br>
