Can we lump this effort together into the same topic, at least as a starting point, in order to get it well-coordinated?

Another page that should have a major change is https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Ma ... estriction

When that section was added, there was no separate page on restrictions.
I would propose that the section be drastically cut, reduced to a list of the type of restrictions, and get a link to the best source of info on restrictions.

I would like to make it easier to maintain our wiki pages in this way.

I'm all for the update on the pages that are ready so far.
I made a start at the section in
https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Us ... estriction

But I'm not sure I'm through with it.
If anyone else wants to take a whack at it, please go ahead. Can we remove even more?

I just made the change to https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Template:Rank

placeexternal should now return 2, and that should be used - {{Rank|placeexternal}} - anywhere in the USA wazeopedia that refers to the rank at which an editor can create external links.

I think this is a clear statement of uncontroversial information.
I think you should publish it.

I added the information about renaming cities in WME has been left out for more than a year
I did this without discussion because it is a single-line addition to the rank table, has been missed for more than a year, and because it is not controversial. If there is any issue with my edit, please roll it back.

1) I added cityrename to the rank template https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Template:Rank/ and updated its /doc page
2) I added a line to the rank table https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Ed ... Rank_table

Sorry I missed your comment for so long.
Can you think of a good new name for that table?

@ldriveskier - Yes. That should be added right away.

@johnsninja58 - I added another proposed format for the table. It is user-sortable. And when any of the rank values change, the values will be automatically updated. In the long run, it could be easier to keep up to date.

Three notes:
For readability for new users (A new R1-2 trying to figure out why they can't do this or that is probably the most common user of this page), I think we should steer away from acronyms like UR or MP, and spell those things out as they appear in WME.

Should "Close Update Requests they reported" be moved up to R1 as a stand-alone line? Seems cleaner than the asterisk note in R2.

R4 - "Create and edit Junction Boxes" or does it go without saying that you can edit if you can create?
