What is WME Validator?
This script validates a map area in Waze Map Editor, highlights issues and generates a very detailed report with Wiki references and solutions (more info). The list of validations can be found here.

What is WME Validator Localization for United Kingdom package?
Localization package is a script that tunes WME Validator up for United Kingdom.
The script can enable/disable checks, set params and exceptions.

In United Kingdom, it mainly checks for incorrect names and abbreviations on streets.

Important Note 1: This is not the final version of this package, and there may be some checks that are missing or incorrect. Please post feedback and suggestions below, and check back for updates.

Important Note 2: Remember, not everything that Validator highlights is necessarily an error or needs to be fixed. Consider the these to be advisory warnings only.

How to install the WME Validator Localization for United Kingdom package?
  1. Install the required WME Validator (if not installed - Firefox requires the User Script Manager below to be installed first)
  2. Install the required User Script Manager for your internet browser (if not installed)
  3. Install the script from WME Validator Localization for United Kingdom
  4. Launch the User Script Manager Dashboard (Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey) and make sure WME Validator Localization for United Kingdom script is there.

I think there's currently an issue with the script in that it got broken when the last update to the editor was implemented. Mine's not working at the moment either...
In Chrome to a Hard refresh(cmd + shift + R/ctrl + shift +R) followed by a normal refresh (cmd + R/ctrl + R), that started it working for me.

The script v1.9 needs to be updated by Tim..

@Tim
If the Wiki UK is correct then..
"Val" could be replaced by "Valley"
"Grove" appears twice
"Boulevard", "Broadway", "Circus", "Mount", "Ridge" could be added.. ;-)

Are you aware that the links might be wrong?

For example the abbreviations link goes to wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/United_Kingdom/Roads#Abbreviations which has a 404

Unfortunately, it hasn't fixed it for me. I've tried removing and reinstalling the script too

Great work Tim, I've missed not having this :-)

One thing I've noticied:
Node B: Non-drivable connected to drivable (slow) (#115)
The non-drivable segment makes a junction with a drivable at node B: wiki
Disconnect node B from all of the drivable segments.
Do we still need to report this? I was under the impression that non-driveable (i.e. footpaths) could now be connected to driveable nodes.

Thanks :-)

Actually, "Valley" is the preferred spelling but we haven't gotten around to updating the Wiki.

"Boulevard", "Broadway", "Circus", "Ridge" are not common enough to warrant abbreviations either.

Roads should never start with "onto". Waze says that before the name of the street.
