Add "Solved" & "Not identified" help links
On the WME screen, can we make the "Solved" and "Not identified" text into links -- or add question-mark icons adjacent to each one -- that bring up definitions of each?
As a newbie I was surprised to learn that "solved" really means "solved or probably invalid", while "not identified" means "probably valid, but no clear way to solve":
https://www.waze.com/wiki/Map_Problems_ ... Map_Editor
Before I learned this I closed a number of almost certainly invalid URs as "not identified". The reporter confirmed he had probably been "overzealous" in reporting map errors and could not be more specific. I didn't realize I was simply kicking the can to some other poor editor, and one who probably doesn't know the territory as well.
There appear to be a lot of invalid URs. Multiply my ignorance by all the other ignorant newbies and that's a lot of "not identified" reports.
Of course every newbie should find and read all the documentation before their first edit, but for better or worse that is not how the world typically works. If the volume of "not identified" reports is a problem -- a problem due to beginner editors simply not understanding how Waze uses the term -- having definitions available directly from the editor should make a dramatic difference.
Thanks for listening!
