Wazeopedia is built by the community. In order to allow maximum capabilities without posing risks there is a simple permission structure used in Wazeopedia. This article will help you understand how things work.
Who can edit Wazeopedia?
Any user can edit the local wikis after logging in with their Waze username.
The Global wiki and few Local wikis are restricted so only local champs can edit them. Feel free to contact your local community through the forum if you encounter an issue with your editing permissions. You can also email your community manager from Waze.
