=== Important! ===
'''Please do not alter any of the following road ''types'' without first consulting a [[#WV Leadership | WV State Manager]] or your [[#Raid Groups | Group Leader]]''': Freeways, Ramps, Major Highways, Minor Highways or Primary Streets.
 
'''Please do not mass-edit''' Do not perform edits which will affect large numbers of segments at once. The edit history of segments is highly valuable in the process of solving URs. Mass editing effectively mass erases this history, permanently. We ask that all necessary processes which might affect large portions of the map, or long stretches of roads, be reserved until near the end of the MapRaid. This includes the “Select entire street” function.
 
'''Anything locked at 5 or 6?''' Please check with a [[#WV Leadership | WV State Manager]] or your [[#Raid Groups | Group Leader]] before making changes. Rank 5 and 6 editors - consider keeping highlights active for locks 5 and 6.
 
'''[[Junction Style Guide/Intersections|Micro Dogleg/Close nodes]]''' We make extensive use of the "micro-dogleg" technique, where a geometry node is carefully placed, at full zoom, directly next to a junction node, in order to set the angle to create a desired Turn/Stay/Exit prompt. Please watch for these if you move any junction node, and be sure to recreate the same angle at the new location.
 
'''[[Turn Instruction Overrides/USA|Turn Instruction Overrides]]'''
Please check with a [[#WV Leadership | WV State Manager]] or your [[#Raid Groups | Group Leader]] if you believe that a turn instruction override is warranted. To see those in WME, check the box in TB Options.
 
==Local Guidance==
 
=== WV Route Naming ===
West Virginia uses the WV-XXX format for all State Routes. For County Routes, CR-XX or CR-XX/YY is used. There are no Township Roads (TR-XXX) in West Virginia. In a few limited cases, there are special road names in use; if you see one, please do not delete it or ask a question first prior to deleting it. More detail and examples can be found here:  [[West_Virginia/Major_roads|WV Route Naming]].
 
<!-----
State highways that are primarily signed at entering intersections with a State Route number like [[image:75px-WV-2.svg.png|30px]] rather than a road name should be named WV-### ("WV-2").  County roads that are primarily signed at entering intersections with County Road numbers like [[image:WVCountyMain.png|30px]] or [[image:WestVirginiaCountySub.png|30px]] rather than a road name should be named CR-## or CR-##/## ("CR-65" or "CR-91/1").
-------->
=== Functional Classification ===
 
'''Functional Classification Will Not Be Part Of This Raid.'''
<!-----WV, at this time, does not have a GIS map that will make decision making as to the proper road type (Street/Primary Street/Minor Highway/Major Highway/Freeway) easy or quick. They do have a list of Federal Aid Roads which includes the roads with a functional classification of minor collector or higher. Please DO NOT Change the Road Type for any segment type of Primary Street (PS) or higher without consulting the State Managers (SMs).
 
Occasionally, we find short segments that were missed in the selection process for conversion, and it is important that these be corrected for routing continuity. In general, however, we ask that Road Types not be changed without consulting either your [[#Raid Groups | Group Leader]] or one of the [[#WV Leadership | WV State Manager]]. In isolated cases, we have chosen to deviate from official classifications, due to errors or outdated information in the FC maps, or to better accommodate real-life situations and Waze quirks. It is important that these remain intact. Sometimes dirt roads may appear higher on FC maps but shouldn't be used by Waze for routing.
 
If you find an area that doesn't seem to be complete please bring it to the attention of a [[#WV Leadership | WV State Manager]] or your [[#Raid Groups | Group Leader]] for review.
 
For more in depth information regarding FC please visit the [http://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Road_types/USA#Functional_classification Road Type Wiki]------------------------->

Note that these are minimums and, for protection, certain segments may be at higher lock levels. If you find a road locked to a higher level than its minimum, please leave it locked no lower than that level when you have finished editing.
 
=== West Virginia User Report Management ===
 
West Virginia has a very good grasp on User Reports/Map Problems throughout the state. This will not be a "''primary focus''" of the raid, but please feel free to work any UR/PUR/MP's in your editable area. Remember to follow the Response Timeline guidelines below.
 
====Response Timeline====
''(NOTE: all day values are relative to the date the FIRST editor response is sent to the reporter)''
 
'''Day 0'''
 
The first editor who is able to respond to a User Report (UR) should attempt to resolve the UR. If they are successful, they should comment as such in the UR and mark it '''"Solved'''". If more information from the reporter is required to make progress towards closure, a response should be sent to the reporter containing the information needed for resolution.
 
'''Day 4+'''
 
Polite reminders should be sent to reporters who have not responded to the initial at any time, '''provided at least four full days have elapsed''' since the initial response was sent
 
'''Day 8+'''
 
URs may be noted as closed due to lack of reporter response at any time, '''provided at least four full days have elapsed''' since the followup message was sent. These need to be marked as '''"Not Identified"''' and a brief comment sent.
 
'''Shared Ownership'''
 
All editors are considered to have equal ownership of and responsibility for all URs in West Virginia. All editors, regardless if they have worked the UR previously, may send any of the responses described above, provided they adhere the minimum time spacing guidance between responses. All editors are explicitly encouraged to attempt to resolve URs at any point during their lifecycle, even if others happen to be actively working it at the same time.
 
'''Notes'''
 
The script [[Scripts#URComments|URComments]] streamlines the process of responding to a UR and provides comments based on the UR type and can be edited prior to sending to fit your needs. Highly recommend you install this script if you will be responding to URs.  
 
=== Cameras ===
'''Cameras will not be mapped'''
 
[http://www.legis.state.wv.us/WVCODE/ChapterEntire.cfm?chap=17c&art=6&section=7A#06 §17C-6-7a] of the West Virginia Code prohibits use of cameras to detect or prove traffic law violations. You can remove all Red Light or Speed Cameras in WV. 
 
=== Place Editing ===
West Virginia follows the national [[Places]] guidance.
 
To prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of submissions from "trusted users", all area places and points with complete data should be locked to Level 2 at a minimum.
Additionally, please consult the following table for minimum lock level for completed places.
 
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" style="text-align:center;"

== 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.
