The more I think about this, the more I think the "Help When Waze ... x3" posts should really be migrated to the "Navigation" forum.

Thoughts?
My thought about that is that the wiki is (supposed to be) about more than just editing. I don't necessarily see it as editor-specific.


Tapatalk made me do it.
Fair enough...Personally I use the wiki pretty much only for editing. But I realize that may not be the case for everyone :)

Guess that's why it's called a "proposal" :lol:
A new user would expect information on the client and web site functions to be there as well. It was one of the first places I went to figure out how Waze worked. I went back there when I wanted to start editing. Also, it provides a good place to put known issues near where the user is reading about the proper operation/process.

That way, when viewing "new posts", it will be much clearer which country an unlock request is for without having to view the post. It might also help with getting people to post in the right one. ;)
That would be useful. They can install this mod to do that. It works for "new posts" list too.

It is an issue with the country language forums only. Waze app, community, and other ones are working fine.

Thanks. It might need another tweak down the road, but it's a far sight better than the mess we've got now.

Any chance the outdated information on the main community page will be dealt with? Under Recent Map Updates I've been seeing that Popeye7751 made some road geometry changes in Tyler, Texas for... well, the past 7 months. Not close to professional-looking at all.

The downside of breaking into sub-forums too early (i.e., when there isn't enough activity to warrant it) is that it takes that much longer to reach critical mass. The time to break into sub-forums is when people are having a hard time sorting through all the conversations to find the ones relevant to them; not when there is no activity at all. Until participation increases, it's best to have everyone post in a common forum, just so people know that others are around.

Sorry, lapse in reading comprehension on my part. It seems to be the same situation with the other "continent" forums. Is the idea behind the continent forums to add a level of hierarchy, or to provide a place for conversations regarding countries that do not already have their own sub-forum?

If the former, I assume there is a reason the move has been postponed.
If the latter, perhaps they should be renamed "Africa Other", "Europe Other" etc. to clarify.
