| == Welcome New Editors ==
| | Pennsylvania generally follows the US standard for [[Places]] for guidance in regards to mapping Points of Interest & Businesses. There are many categories of Places to add to the map, Please see the [//www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=109242 the places post] regarding information pertaining to important places that should be added to the map. These include Hospitals, Police Stations, Fire Departments, Colleges and Universities, Municipal Courthouses, County Courthouses, Airports, Military Bases, Theme Parks, Zoos, and Aquariums, Ski resorts, and Golf Courses. |
| New editors should familiarize themselves with the [https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Ohio Ohio Wiki] before doing very much editing.
| |
|
| |
|
| To better understand how to edit the map, check out [[Editing_manual|The Editing Manual and Map Editing Style Guidelines]]. It's also important to read about [[Edits_to_avoid_(USA)|Edits To Avoid]] before getting started.
| | Pennsylvania standards for places differ in some ways from the US standard. |
| | ;locking |
| | :All Places are to be locked to a minimum level of Rank 2. |
| | :Places considered fundamental to the functioning of the Waze app, such as Gas Stations, should be locked to Rank 4.<br/>Complex, intricate, or crucial Places such as Hospitals, Police Stations, Fire Departments, Airports, Parks, etc. should be locked at least to Rank 4. |
| | ;area vs point |

| This will insert a OH Scripts tab to your left bar where you can toggle these scripts on/off (just like with Tampermonkey, toggling will require a hard refresh to go into effect).
| |
| | |
| In addition to loading the selected scripts, a button is provided for launching ODOT TIMS with either the County Road (CR) or Function Classification (FC) layer enabled, at the current location of the WME window.

| == The Bot ==
| |
| | |
| Once you join the Ohio GHO, Type ''!wb help'' in the GHO. This will get you started with Wazebot (wb); Wazebot will send you some help. In a DM (Direct Message or conversation) with the wazebot, type the following to set up your notifications by name and/or nickname. Wazebot will send you the instructions.
| |
| | |
| # !mentions
| |
| # !nickname
| |
| | |
| If some of the abbreviations and terms used are not clear, you can also use the wazebot to lookup terms for you. In a DM with wazebot, type '''!wb glossary [''word'']''' and the bot will send you some definitions.
| |
| | |
| If the notifications on your phone or computer get to be too much, in the GHO you can select the “3 dots” (by the blue arrow), Select “Options” and turn off notifications if you do not want to be disturbed; just uncheck the box.
| |
| | |
| '''Please do not modify/change any of the other options; they affect everyone.'''
| |
| | |
| [[File:Ohghobotoptions.png|Ohio Bot Options]]
| |
| | |
| Additional Help for the Bot can be found [https://vaindil.com/wazebot/commands/ here].
| |
| | |
| == Permalink (PL) ==
| |
| | |
| An URL, aka a browser link, (http://...) that shows the map with the same view as the user who created the Permalink (PL). Location, zoom, layers, and selected segments will be the same. You can find the icon for the PL in the lower right corner of the WME screen (two chains linked together). When the mouse is hovered over the icon, press Control-C to copy the Permalink to the clipboard (or right-click it and choose copy). You can then paste the PL into the GHO, an e-mail, or forum message so others can access and view what you are seeing.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Request A Lock Level Change ==
| |
| To request a Lock Change on a segment, go to the OH GHO, state the level coming from and going to and then state the area it is in by naming the closest city. Next would be your reason, why are you requesting the lock level to change and lastly be polite. A please and thank you go a long way.
| |
| | |
| Paste the PL starting on its own line.
| |
| *You can select multiple segments in one PL by selecting the first one, holding down the CTRL key and selecting the others.
| |
| *You can goto a new line in the GHO by holding the Shift Key and then hitting Return, without sending the message.
| |
| | |
| '''To request a DownLock to change turn restrictions would be formatted like this:'''
| |
| | |
| ''Can I please have L3 > L1, Dayton area, to change turn restrictions to match local signage.''
| |
| | |
| ''Insert PL here and on a new line.''
| |
| | |
| ''Thank you!''
| |
| | |
| When you are finished, request that the segments you were working be uplocked to the previous level. You will have to provide a new PL in case you added a road which would cut the original segment(s) or if the other editors are using their phones.
| |
| | |
| ''Can I please have L1 > L3, Dayton area, finished with turn restrictions, please review and lock when satisfied.''
| |
| | |
| ''Insert PL here and on a new line.''
| |
| | |
| ''Thank you!''
