| '''Segment locks''', applies to both '''manual locks''' and '''automatic traffic locks'''. Everybody (rank 2 and up) has the
| | #REDIRECT [[Editing restrictions#Segment lock]] |
| capabilities for manual lock, but in additional to that, country may have [[Traffic locks|automatic traffic locks]].
| |
| | |
| '''Manual locks:''' This type of lock is manually applied by
| |
| a higher-ranked editor to a particular segment of road that needs to be protected from accidental change or
| |
| vandalism. The more important the road, the more likely it is to be locked.
| |
| Other than the fact that they are manually applied by an editor, they function similarly to [[Traffic
| |
| locks|automatic traffic locks]]. For an overall description of the various types of editing restrictions, see
| |
| the [[Editing permissions]] page.
| |
| | |
| In brief, there are seven locking ranks. An unlocked segment has a lock rank of 1. 1 thru 6 by the editors and
| |
| a "staff lock" by the Waze Staff. 1 thru 6 locking ranks correspond to the 6 editor ranks of "1 traffic cone"
| |
| to "6 traffic cones." To edit a segment, its lock rank must be equal to or below your own editing rank. The
| |
| segment must also belong to one of your editable areas. See [[Editing permissions]] for full details of all the
| |
| restrictions and how they interact.
