I've updated more of the page today...
Here is some discussion that I had with subs5:

Hi,
Looks good but some things for you to consider:
1) Pick a color and outline the boxes and have the numbers on each box. This actually will show what you are referring to on the next sections.
2) Top Bar. The server NA, IL, or ROW and then snapshot shows for me. Not sure where you are seeing language unless that is just for new editors. Also it is not the top right.
3) Search box, you will get up to six options if there are many options for the less specific search. (there are more than 6 main streets in New York State).
4) probably best to use one point and one area picture so not varied based on which section (ex Map comment vs Draw places)
5) Draw places section should have put in entry/exit point for PP, AP, and RPP. Note RPP is broken and doesn't work w/o the entry point. Mention that we can only set one entry point now, might change in future.
6) Draw segments menu have a link to how not to create red roads. Also state if the road is red then there is a problem.
7) Mention Junction boxes are for Rank 5 + and link.
8) Get a link for Ped paths. Mention not used for every walking trail....
9) Save button, "The number in the icon is shown to red as a warning .." should be changed to "Pending changes are shown in a blue superscript box. Note saving frequently is most strongly encouraged since one mistake will prevent all the others from saving."
10) Recommend changing "When the button is clicked (or the shortcut key used), the editor saves all of the current changes you have made......." to "When the save button (or the shortcut key) is clicked, then Waze checks all the pending edits with a regression checker. If there are no problems the edits are saved and will appear in the app after the next tile update. If there are problems, then you will get an error message and may be taken to the problem segment or place. If there are multiple problems you will just get an error message. You might have to undo edits till you have removed the error if you can't find it and fix it. This is why it is recommended to not have too many pending edits when you save as you start."
11) Undo button Consider changing "The Undo button will undo unsaved successive previous changes with each click." to "The Undo button will undo the most recent unsaved change with each click."
12) Save button/Undo button/Redo button, remove the capital B from Button in title. Wazeopedia uses Sentence case not Title Case. (Same for all other titles Refresh or Reload Layers, Satellite Imagery, etc)
13) Redo button, consider changing "The Redo button will re-apply any changes which have been recently undone with the Undo button." to "The Redo button will re-apply the most recent save that was undone with each click."
14) Layers, consider changing "Hover or click" to "Hover over or click the three stacked papers"
15) not sure if you have a script for the reorder not seeing that in incognito mode and we don't do scripts in base wazeopedia
16) Need more current pictures for Cities, Roads, GPS tracks,
Ok enough for tonight, I am calling it quits
This is great stuff!
for these items here are my responses.
1) great idea! I will work on the outline colors soon. I was thinking that would be a good idea but hadn't looked into how to do it just yet because I was still adding images and content. I don't see anything that clearly shows how to highlight or border an image with a certain color. Can you assist?
2) I added a note there that I would like to remove it because the "Top" bar as I see it, is the bar with the search box and such in it. In the old editor I think it made more sense but now I'm not so sure. I know that the region selection is actually buried within the settings tab now. Should we include images of that instead?
3) Are you suggesting that I add the verbiage to be "You will get up to six options if there are many options for the less specific search." ?
4) I was just trying to follow what the user will actually see, but I can remove the second set of images.
5) I've added in the point about one entry point, but I already had information about the Entry/Exit point to be added, unless you'd like some further clarification there.
6) done
7) done
8) done
9) done
10) done
11) done
12) done
13) done
14) done
15) script for reorder? Not sure what you mean
16) I'm going to work more on the updated pictures as time allows. Hoping to get those in within a day or so
Thanks again! This has been a great help!
