Wazeopedia is the new name for the Waze community wiki, and also the project name for converting the existing wiki into the new framework. First announced in Jan, 2015, the project is being spearheaded by wonderlerm (PM) a member of Waze staff. Wazeopedia will contain a unique individual wiki instance for each local community, as well as another instance to host global content. Content will be able to shared across the wikis, maintaining the collaboration while allowing the reader a insulated experience.


Global wiki

The Global wiki will be built of carefully selected content that is useful for all the local Waze editing communities around the world. Each local community is free to include global content into its own pages. This can be done in the original English, or by creating a modified, translated, or interpreted derivative.

As of June 2015 the Wazeopedia Global wiki site is not yet available. However, the teamWiki Masters team which has been tasked with building the new Wazeopedia examined the pages in the existing Waze wiki, and nominated a list pages which were already global in nature to be included in the Wazeopedia Global wiki. We are currently editing them to meet the standards of the Wazeopedia Global wiki. This is a slow process, as there is a great deal of content to work on. The existing function of those selected pages, in the past, was mostly to support the Waze United States community, and sometimes other English-speaking countries. Those pages will continue serving those communities until they are moved. At that time, the United States and other English communities will do the same as any other community - either adopt the global pages, or recreate their own versions of them.

If you have a question about the global page nomination process that applies to existing pages, pease visit this forum thread. You can pose questions there, and alert the global wiki team to any concerns you have.
