WME Validator F.A.Q.
New! Search for a specific username
Validator does support a search for a specific username. Click “search” tab and put a desired username(s) into the “Updated by” field.

I really like having WME Validator double-check my work.
This is a really useful feature. It would be really useful for mentors to be able to search for their mentees’ usernames, too.

Thanks for all the effort you have put into this tool.

A mentor can request a report on their mentee in an area from a champ mentor/RC, they might be willing to help.

I appreciate having it, too. I don’t see that above field (Updated by) when I bring up the search tab.

Is it restricted to CMs & RCs?

It is restricted to CMs, as stated in the FAQ

New! Search for a specific username
Validator does support a search for a specific username. Click “search” tab and put a desired username(s) into the “Updated by” field.

For privacy reasons the feature is available for country managers only. Regular users and area managers have “Include only your edits” option instead.

Ok, thanks. I wonder if he can be persuaded to add State Managers, at least within the states they manage…

I doubt it. I suspect that he’s using a “CM” flag that is applied to a user’s record by the Waze system.

To expand it to anyone else would have to be to “AM” or everyone… unless he did a username-by-username validation.

Oh, maybe I misunderstood then. I thought that I had read somewhere that Waze actually created an official State Manager designation in the system. You’re right, if all they did was just make us AMs with an area the size and shape of our states, then he’d have no way to tell the difference.

[doctorkb]

AFAIK, the SM designation is just a large AM area, plus some “how we do things” stuff… nothing in the database.

It would be nice if it could be expanded to the SMs to help them keep track of wayward editors, but then again, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to get the RC or a CM to run a report for us and share the results, if needed. Remember, too, that you can use Colour Highlights to highlight segments that a user has last edited; a little more tedious as you have to be zoomed in more and move manually, but still useful.

As OrbitC said here

@OrbitC

So what is the status on finalizing the details of the US SM and the SM wiki page? Is it still in a discussion period with Waze?

Also, if an SM registry is to be made, here is the list of all the known/registered SMs in the US.
State Manager USA

Waze added State Manager (SM) as an official role.

Waze said:

“we want to add it as an editing role - someone who gets editing rights for a polygon, in this case a whole state and let the community decide on his community role, as you defined it”

It’s a role that will be approved by the community. It’ll have to be someone who’s active in the community.

Sorry for the coded Klingon message before

However a username validation against members of the state managers forum usergroup may not be to complicated, although It might mean that the list is only updated with script updates, as this script doesn’t communicate with the internet.

It appears that a recent update of WME has broken Validator.
It is now flagging ALL segments as ‘no inward connectivity’, ‘no outward connectivity’.

This is true, even with ALL other extensions disabled.

Discussion in the WME thread shows that the same problem was known to exist in the beta WME.

We are facing the same here in Malaysia.

[giuffr0lo]

Same in Italy. Broken update?

[rulikoto]

same here in Indonesia

[uppps1]

same problem in Germany since today

[coontex]

Nearly impossible to see what needs to be corrected and what does not. Have to click on every segment.

As seen from the picture, Validator is having some problem. All report give a return of No Connectivity. It similar to the previously happened with Beta WME.

Guys,
The update (v1.0.4) has been published. You need to force your browser to update the extension.

Also you can click Search tab and put the following into the “Reported as” field:

!44, !45, !50, *

i.e. to disable checks 44, 45, 50 and report any other issues.

Have a nice weekend for those of you who still has

[SuperDave1426]

Thanks for the quick fix on those! I trust those checks will be re-enabled at some point?

[bz2012]

[shmupi]

So I just downloaded this as a recommendation for helping to edit maps. The first time opening the map w/this script I get “Greasemonkey alert - Please report WME validator CODE BLUE: 15492.” I tried searching this topic for some help but I have not seen any posts w/the same problem. Any help would be great. Thanks from a newbie!
