I just built a new script that scans POIs near your viewport and then lists in detail how everything is linked. This makes it easier for you to find duplicate entries. It distinguishes between POIs that simply have the same link multiple times, have multiple links, or have no link at all. Duplicates can also be highlighted.
The script is ideal for POI maintenance.

**Update:**
- Translation errors corrected 🙂
**Three new scan options added:**
🗺Entire viewport - Scans everything that is visible on screen
🔓Editable viewport - Scans only editable parts of the visible area
🎯Selected areas - Scans only manually selected administrative areas

Hi again.
The “Analyze” button and the logs are not translated.
Great script by the way.

Hi, the script is running on a URL that it shouldn’t be running on.

true true… I don’t use the beta editor very often, but I think staff don’t want scripts to be used there because it could distort bug reports or something like that. You’re right, there was something. Thanks for reminding me. I’ve removed the beta link from all scripts globally. And for the translation errors, I’ll take care of them too, but I’ll take my time to catch all the errors.

The image is not from the beta editor; it’s from the SDK documentation page.

It is also displayed on the user profile pages:
Some scripts have Regex like this:
`@include /^https://(www|beta).waze.com/(?!user/)(.{2,6}/)?editor.*$/`
or match/exclude:
`@match https://beta.waze.com/*editor*`
`@match https://www.waze.com/*editor*`
`@exclude https://www.waze.com/*user/*editor/*`

Thanks for the info. The scripts have now been changed and should no longer cause any problems.

Thank you.
I still see Version 2026.01.23 on Greasyfork though - can you double-check?

Is it possible to turn off the satellite image layer to speed up the scanning process, in the same way that the WAL script does? Otherwise, this is a great script with much-needed functionality.

Thanks for your suggestion. I’m always open to constructive feedback, so I’ve implemented this (and other improvements). Many new filters and optimizations are now available. Enjoy the new update!

It seems another url variation isn’t excluded `https://www.waze.com/en-GB/user/editor/username`
Probably from a waze update
