See 3.8.3 of dir-spec.txt and 2.2 of path-spec.txt:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/master:/dir-spec.txt#l2163
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/master:/path-spec.txt#l184

Most probably the WG and WE shorthand was to refer to all Wg* and We*
weights (ie Wgg and Wgd, and Wed and Wee).
