Wazeopedia Updates

Hello Community


Given the frequency of update requests, corrections, and adjustments on Wazeopedia, we will centralize all information regarding the edits made in our Manual. This will now function as an update dashboard.

Although we know that updating a topic on Discuss automatically moves it to the top (below pinned posts), we will always inform the Community about any changes made. This will ensure transparent tracking and facilitate the visibility of all modifications.

Specific changes can still be requested in the Topic HERE.

Update Notice for the Places Topic

A standardization has been created for editing the School/College and Preschool/Daycare Categories, which will help with the way these types of Places are edited or created.

Just a reminder, we don’t need to rush to edit all places, but when you come across a place in this category, please make the adjustment.

Happy Editing!!!

For your information:

The House Numbering page is undergoing an update. We have already edited some things and are finishing up the details.

We ask that when you check it, you pay attention to the Revision Message and help by checking what is out of place. Nothing has changed in the rules, but the editing method has been updated.

Always remember, everyone can help,

Updates made on May 12, 2026:

  1. We have updated the Map problems topic in Wazeopedia Brazil. The page has undergone a complete content review, including:
  • image updates;
  • review and update of descriptions;
  • reorganization of the problem types currently existing in WME;
  • improvements in clarity for editors of all levels.
  1. Additionally, a new topic was created: Map problems related to Partner Feeds

The content covers MPs generated from closure requests sent by Waze for Cities program partners, including cases of data inconsistency that prevent the automatic application of closures on the map.

Updates made on 28/05/2026:

Changed the method for editing speeds in U-turns, Roundabouts, Private Roads, and Parking Lots, simplifying the editing process;

U-turns and Roundabouts

  1. If it has a speed limit sign, use it;
  2. If it doesn’t, leave the segment without a speed limit.

Private Roads and Parking Lots

Speed limits indicated on private properties using regulatory signs may be added to segments, but in their absence, leave them blank, following the same pattern as U-turns and Roundabouts.

Personal Suggestion: You don’t need to go crazy changing existing segments mentioned in the Speed Limits topic, take it easy. lol


The Keyboard Shortcuts topic was also adjusted to clean up the code and prepare for the new ones that will be coming soon.

As informed in the post about Deactivation of the auto-lock mechanism, it has been adjusted and added to Wazeopedia.

Since this is still a sensitive matter, if there are any changes, they will be communicated and adjusted again.
