[Page update] Places - Multiple entry points
In preparation for multiple entry points, I added the following message to the area stop point section of the current places page as a mbox:
Even after MEP goes into use for production app users, it's still in phase 1, so it won't work for stop routes, alternate routes or planned drives. Therefore, the old non-MEP behavior must continue to be supported for the first created point, and where we put that point won't change. That means that once we agree on guidance for this, we can move it to the US wiki even if MEP still isn't in the prod app. We can remove the mbox after that switch is flipped.
I have started a draft revision that includes a section on multiple entry points. I also included some reorganization and consistency of capitalization (still working on that); it is not consistent in the current page. I have tried to just start describing how multiple entry points work along with their current limitations in the beta environment. Since this is in production WME, it is not secret, and we can publish details and guidance. I have not included guidance on how to use, and I think it would be nice to start discussing this, including, at least:Current MEP message wrote:{{As of|May 2019}} multiple entry points can be added to area places. However, they are not used in the production app. Production users are routed only to the originally created entry point.
- Where to place points (doors? access roads? some standard for choosing among these?
- How to name points
- Where to put the main point
