Note that this article is specific to the USA. For general reference in other countries please refer to the global ranking wiki page here.

You can see your own editing rank AKA level from the Waze Map Editor (WME) on the top left of the screen.

Your rank appears just under your username as "Level #". To the left of your username and level is an avatar icon unique to your level. In the WME when you select a segment, the properties drawer will show you the name (and rank) of the editor who created and last modified the segment. The number in parenthesis after the name, is the editor's current rank (not necessarily the rank they were when they made the edit).


Promotions

In the USA, rank promotions are evaluated based on a combination of related factors including;

  • Editing skill and knowledge
  • Editing quality
  • Community involvement
  • Proper etiquette in communication
  • Mentoring participation
  • Edit count
  • Suspicious or damaging edits

It is not necessary to reach every single measure listed below of a rank (including edit count) to be granted that rank promotion. It is merely required to be considered proficient primarily for the editing skill, knowledge, and behavioral expectations of that rank when you are reviewed. It is perfectly reasonable to anticipate being promoted before achieving the listed edit count for a rank, as long as you meet other criteria for that rank. On the other hand, an editor who is seen to be damaging the map or engaging in suspicious editing practices, may not be granted a rank promotion despite having more than the required edit count.

The Formal Mentoring program is a great tool to help you learn the skills and knowledge you will need to be eligible for a rank promotion. Being in communication with your SM and/or RC even before you are eligible, will also show you where you need to focus to become eligible for the promotion.

If you feel that you might be eligible for a rank promotion, please contact your local management team including your State Managers (SM), and Regional Coordinator(s) (RC) to initiate a review, and the promotion process. Moving from rank two to three, and higher, is not automatic and requires assistance, make sure to contact your managers/coordinator(s).
