Read below for more info on what the team has worked on for this revamp!
Better User Experience and Infrastructure:
New clean and clearer UX design that is aligned with the Waze updated brand. It features new templates for all wiki pages that will enable users to easily find what they’re looking for, navigating through the extensive content Wazeopedia offers with ease.
Communities can decide how their Main Page will look and which sections will be highlighted. You can group articles from different categories to be under one section and give tags to articles.
App Launcher was added and it will enable users to easily reach the WME or the Waze Forum.
Infrastructure Improvements and version upgrade.
Better mobile support.
Content:
Standatzion of the content with new templates and forms the community can edit.
Full Content migration, We didn’t remove any content, so everything from the old wiki should appear.
Revamped Global Wiki:
The current content (which is copied from the US wiki) will be redirected to the US wiki page.
Adding Waze Staff Content: Wazer to Wazer, Social Media Hub, and the Waze Meetup Site have been integrated into the Global page. This will enable users to easily find the information they are looking for about Waze Communities.
Wazeopedia Help Center:
On each page at the top you will see a question mark that will take you to the Help Center.
You can find articles on different topics about Wazeopedia (permissions, how to edit, and more).
How to edit the new Wazeopedia page?
Main page: You can decide how the page will look and which sections and images will be displayed.
Tables don’t all render well. Glossary is OK, but I think the AM pages on US State pages leave something to be desired. PM links no longer work with the introduction of the new chat.
I would like to put in a request to add commercial vehicles by VEHICLE TYPE.
so commercial vehicles can use waze (so waze gives the option not to go on to parkways and more)
I saw that also. That links only gets you to the Waze Communities Knowledge Hub that has a bunch of links to various things, none of which are an actual Global Wiki. If you do a search on that page for something that would be found in the wiki the results are “There were no results matching the query” or something that is not a wiki article.
Years ago when I was helping/tutoring in other countries with a limited or non existing wiki, I would share links to topics in the USA wiki. Occasionally I would get push back along the lines of, “But that is the USA not here.” So I started always using the global wiki as reference. When tutoring in Pakistan which has a minimal wiki I have been sharing links to the global wiki while tutoring/helping for items that do not exist in the Pakistan Wiki. Now it seems that is not possible.
Seems like if the USA Wiki is to be the refence for a Global Wiki / Standards, it should be stated on that page that Global standards are found in the USA wiki with a link to the USA wiki. Along with some verbiage that each community can set their own standards that may deviate from the USA/Global standard.
