Important / Mapraid guidelines

Please read the entire MapRaid wiki. If you are still uncertain what to do about something you see on the map, please ask your group leader Thank You for your help with the map.


Mapraid UR Rules

We will follow the usual US UR etiquette with one exception: During the Map raid, the wait time is reduced to X days.

Do not close URs if the UR contains a tag such as [NOTE], [CLOSURE], or any other [MESSAGE]. Ask the editor who created the tag.

Edit Quality and Mass Editing

You are responsible for every edit you make, whether you make it by hand or use a script. Every edit you make should meet the goals of this mapraid AND make a noticeable improvement to the map. Do not make edits simply to gain points without improving the map. If a segment is "good enough" for the waze map, do not edit it. If you edit segments previously edited by others, your name will be on these segments. This makes you responsible for any problems left on those segments, no matter who put them there originally.

DO NOT perform edits that affect large numbers of segments at once. We want to know who fixed what so we can understand how problems got resolved.


If it looks like you are making unnecessary edits or hunting for points, you may be banned from this mapraid and from future mapraids. In addition, Waze will throttle your edits and points if you use scripts excessively.

Micro-Doglegs

We use micro-doglegs to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.

Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC)

In XXX , we ... We distinguish the different types of routes found in the state as follows: If a road has more than one name ...

Road Locks

Places

Left Turns

Will there be a lot of questions about when left turns are allowed?

Mapping Resources

Only use sources that are allowed by Waze, like Streetview from within WME. Do not use Google Maps. Do not use Google Maps Streetview. Websites from businesses are considered allowed sources.

Warning: If you copy information from unauthorized sources, you may be removed from this mapraid. Also, every segment or place you edited might be removed from the map. Copying information from copyrighted sources is illegal!

Mapraid edit lists

Spreadsheets and forms are being used to streamline management of various group efforts and track important edits. Below you can find links to use these these forms, sheets, and see the lists.

Results

 Check back here after the raid is completed to see the results and achievements

MapRaid Promotions

Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.

When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

Watch here for results of promotions during and after the raid.
