It seems like everyone has a few macros that are fairly useful, but not quite useful enough to go bug Wisp for inclusion in WeiDU itself. I'd like to suggest a mega-thread where we can all dump anything that might be useful to others. This first post will be updated descripts and links to the (hopefully thousands, millions of) macros that get posted below.
