Thanks!
Please force update the script, it’s fixed in the latest 0.4.4

42

If I’m reading that right, then it would catch freeways that weren’t at least locked at rank 2, so yea that would catch completely open segments without bothering people in areas where the lock is set lower than 5. I like it. :smiley: Yea, something like that would do nicely.

43

Railroads should not have a city name applied anywhere. There’s other discussion threads about this. Unless they are local light-rail stuff.

44

If there is a list of non-local railroads, we can add them as a condition, i.e.

IF there is a city name AND street name is one of the list OR contains one of the keywords THEN report the railroad segment

45

Really? That’s interesting, I didn’t know about that. There’s a Union-Pacific Railroad line that runs through Reno, and the person who created that (who’s a rank 6) did create it with a city name back in May 2013. I never even really noticed it until this latest update to the Validator, which resulted in it flashing at me and then I found out about it.

Given that it was created last year by a rank 6, is this “no city names for railroads, ever” rule a new one? Just out of curiosity.

46

A small issue in Germany: “No space before (“1943r.”) or after (“st.Jan”) an abbreviation in the street name. Add a space before/after the abbreviation.”
This happens at streetname “Dr.-Herbert-Eimert-Straße”. Dr. is the shortform of Doktor (Doctor) and should not be marked as an error.
See here:
https://www.waze.com/de/editor/?zoom=6&lat=49.83162&lon=7.8827&layers=TBFTFFTTTTFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT&segments=207710944&env=row

47

Ok, this might be an exception along the lines of what you suggest regarding local light rail. The V&T Railway is a local tourist attraction that runs along the historic short line route that was taken back in the 1800’s to provide transportation and bring silver & gold down from Virginia City to Carson City. It’s decidedly a local light passenger rail - the engine is steam powered. :smiley:

So would this be one that should be excepted from the “don’t put a city name on the rail line” rule?

48

10.01.2014 v0.4.5:

  • fixed “Street name with no space before/after” for “Dr.-Herbert”
  • to switch highlighting on/off just click on the “Validator” title
  • fixed CSS styles for links
  • removed “Zoom” and “Step” advanced options
  • other minor changes
49

Wow, I love the way I can now easily switch the Validator on and off. Well done, berestovskyy!

50

When I try, I get a message: “Sorry, You cannot use WME Validator over here. Please check the forum thread for more information.”

Well, perhaps the information about which countries it is available in is in this thread, but I haven’t spotted it. Could the first post could be edited to give a list please?

51

Yes. Railroads weren’t even supposed to be on the map until a few months ago, when staff announced they would be brought back. The rule is not to put city names on a railroad. There’s absolutely no reason why it would be necessary to have a city name on a railroad. They will not (or should not) come up in search, and they may well cause smudges and other problems.

52

Sorry, at the moment Validator is being reviewed by the UK country managers. I hope it will be available soon for every editor in UK. Follow the thread for the announcement.

Thanks!

53

I think check for WMETB: Simple segment shouldn’t ignore roundabout segments

54

It’s a segment highlighted by WME Toolbox (WMETB). If WME Toolbox does not highlight roundabouts, there is nothing I can do about at the moment. You should report the issue in the corresponding Toolbox thread.

If Toolbox is highlighting simple roundabout segment, but Validator does not report/highlight it - please give me a permalink to check the issue.

55

oops my mistake i mean should

56

Wonderful powerful script … it finds errors that I never thought they could exist. Link to the wiki which may explain why I have to fix them. I fix problems and learn to be a better editor in the same time.

Thanks a lot for this script !!!

“Might be Incorrect City Name” Check Explained
The check looks for two similar city names and reports BOTH of them with a special LIMIT assigned to each of the cities.
If number of the city segments exceeds the LIMIT, the Validator DOES NOT report the city segments.
The check recognizes the following cases:

  • City name is too short - the city name is 1 or 2 letter long, please check if it is correct.
    There is no limit for this case.
  • Expand the abbreviation - there are two similar cities around and one of them has an abbreviation.
    Example: “Poreba Wlk.” vs “Poreba Wielka”
    Limits: 1000 and 10
  • Complete short name - the city name is 1 or 2 letter long and it is a beginning of another city name.
    Example: “Kr” vs “Kraków”
    Limits: 1000 and 0
  • Complete city name - one city name starts with another city name.
    Example: “Cheseaux” vs “Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne”
    Limits: 1000 and 10
  • Correct letter case - the city names have different letter cases.
    Example: “kraków” vs “Kraków”
    Limits: 1000 and 10
  • Check word order - the city names have different word order.
    Example: “Wielka Poręba” vs “Poręba Wielka”
    Limits: 1000 and 1000
  • Check abbreviations - the city names have different abbreviations.
    Example: “Poręba Wlk.” vs “Poręba Wiel.”
    Limits: 1000 and 1000
  • Add/remove county name - one of the cities has a county name in brackets or after a comma.
    Example: “Forel” vs “Forel (Lavaux)” OR “Forel” vs “Forel, Lavaux”
    Limits: 1000 and 10
  • Check county name - city names are identical, but have different county names in brackets or after a comma.
    Example: “City (county1)” vs “City (county2)” OR “City, county1” vs “City, county2”
    Limits: 1000 and 1000
  • Add/remove a word - one city name has an extra word in comparison with another.
    Example: “Amsterdam” vs “Amsterdam Zuidoost”
    Limits: 10 and 10
  • Add county code - one city name has an extra 2-letter word in comparison with another.
    Example: “Renens” vs “Renens VD”
    Limits: 1000 and 10
  • Identical names, but different city IDs - city names are identical, but have different internal city IDs.
    Example: “Syracuse (ID: 14696)” vs “Syracuse (ID: 53882)”
    Limits: 50 and 50
  • Add/remove a space - one city name has a space, while another does not.
    Example: “De Witt” vs “Dewitt”
    Limits: 10 and 1000
  • Check the number - city names contain different numbers.
    Example: “Строитель снт (Волжский)” vs “Строитель 2 снт (Среднеахтубинский р-н)”
    Limits: 1 and 1

    Few examples: No Street, Berlin 233522715 201957332 161565780 161565783 148585447

  • updated “Unneeded node A/B” checks
    Now it takes into account “Same endpoints drivable segments”
    Now it checks if the total length of the adjacent segments is less than 1km

  • fixed “Incorrect highway name” check for NL

  • few optimizations for lot’s of highlighted segments

  • other minor changes

Would you consider adding country-specific checks for Ireland? I’m thinking of anything that catches road segments that don’t comply with our road type wiki page:

https://www.waze.com/wiki/How_to_label_and_name_roads_(Ireland)

…for example:

  • Only motorways (name begins with Mn or Mnn (eg M6, M18 or M50)) should have Freeway type.
  • Only national routes (name begins with Nn or Nnn (eg N5, N21, etc)) should have Major Highway type.
  • All Rnnn routes (name begins with Rnnn (eg R521, R448, etc)) should have Minor Highway type (note that some link segments to R- routes can have this type too, so the check should be that a road whose name begins Rnnn has this type, not that roads of this type must begin Rnnn)
  • Names in parentheses after city names are valid (for example “Blackwater (Wexford)”). We use this to disambiguate city names when there is more than one city/town/village with the same name. The name in parentheses is the county name for the duplicate city. This is only for duplicate city names, not all city names.
  • Cardinal direction indicators on motorways (such as the ‘N’ in “M7 N”) are never in parentheses.

thanks!
