[berestovskyy]

What is WME Validator?
WME Validator is an open source, GPLv3 licensed script that validates a map area in Waze Map Editor, highlights issues and generates a very detailed report with wiki references and solutions (see demo report in this forum post)

Why WME Validator?

• Validator reports issues for your country and provides links to the country wiki. See how to adjust Validator for your country: forum link
• Validator highlights issues, not features. For example, it highlights not just any locked segment, but only if the lock is an issue.
• There are many country-specific checks on every segment and counting! See complete list of validations: forum link

Nice tool!

I assume this takes account of countries where people drive on the left (and roundabouts are clockwise). Can you add Ireland to the list of countries like this? All our roundabouts are being reported as being backwards

Nice stuff here. Please add to https://www.waze.com/wiki/Plugins

Text bubble reads "Click 'Report' to review map issues" but there is no button named "Report" that I can see. There is a "Show report" button though.

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Example where reverse connection does not appear to be detected: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&lat ... s=33330449. All three 2-way segments have an allowed connection reverse into the 1-way segment, but WMEV doesn't catch it.

Suggestions: If you can have only one active "report" then I would suggest a single icon to run the report and then clear the report. The two buttons which look like "Play" and "Trash" are ok, but a single button which switches makes more sense. Also, I was a bit wary about clicking the Trash icon because the possibility of it meaning "delete something from the Waze map" was present in my mind. The icon currently matches the Waze delete icon, so at least that should change.

Request: Add detection of segments which share the same two endpoints: https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&lat ... 4,61233176

This is known to cause routing errors and incorrect start-point display issues in the app. Also can cause the "requested route" information for Update Requests to show the wrong segment.

When I select an interstate segment, it pops up a warning about city name being in the city field. It wants me to remove the city name from the interstate. I didn't think that was set in stone.

I agree. WMEV should not give this guidance. And WMEV links to https://www.waze.com/wiki/Fixing_%22smudged%22_cities which doesn't say anything about No Name for freeway segments.

This is awesome! I've noticed I can't switch tabs while waiting to finish the scan - it appears to stop when I go to a different tab and then start over when I switch back. Nonetheless, this is a really helpful extension.
