=====WME tips, short cuts, etc=====
*To select all segments between two other segments, first select a segment, then use {{key press|alt|click}} to select a second segment. The editor will add to the selection group the segments in-between the first and second segments, based mostly on the street name, but also on simple straight lines.  {{font color|red|'''Important'''}} Be sure to check and make sure the proper segments are selected before making closures or submitting PL for processing of closures.
*Zoom level..."Please make sure that you are zoomed out and centered to a level that shows the segments you are asking for assistance with.  As a general guideline, Fwy and MH can't be zoomed out any farther than zoom 2 (2000 ft), mH and PS can't be zoomed out any farther than zoom 3 (1000 ft) and Streets and below can't be zoomed out any farther than zoom 4 (500 ft).  If you are unsure, Please test your PL pasting it into a new browser tab/window to make sure proper segments are selected.
*For long term road closures please do a MC explaining why.  Also put in the subject line "RCD road washout" or "RCD bridge damage" after RCD  (Road Closure Damage) then the filer option on UR-MP-Tracking can be used to find them later.
=====Discord Suggestions=====


*Discord users that are helping with the closures should setup a keyword of closure for being pinged when attention is needed.  To add a keyword, use <code>!keyword add keywordhere</code>. You can use multiple words, but note that you will only be messaged if the entire phrase you use is a match. To add multiple separate keywords, you need to use the command multiple times in individual messages.  For more information on Discord and keywords see [https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/CommunityBot#Keyword_Subscriptions Discord Wazeopedia Keyword Subscriptions]


=====WME Suggestions=====
Below is a few links that you should review before assisting/using the VEOC. 
==Links==


*Do not make any edits to a segment that will force a change of the segment id.  If the segment id changes you will need to wait for a tile update before you can add a closure to the segment.<br />
[[usa:User:Spedracr/Procedures|Procedures]] ---- Link to a page that discusses the procedures used for VEOC
*For extremely long sections of segments please provide the beginning and ending segments. The editor doing the closure will fill in the between segments.


*Zoom Levels... When creating a PL for a closure please be sure you are zoomed in to at least Level 4 [100 M | 500 Ft]
[[usa:User:Spedracr/Suggestions|Suggestions]] ---- Link to a page that discusses the suggestions, tips, short cuts used for VEOC
*Suggest using MC (Map Comments) for bridges or interchanges that have local names like Spaghetti Junction in Atlanta GA or Theo Barrs Bridge in Pensacola, FL using LRM (Local Reference Marker) will allow a filter to be done using UR-MP script to search the MC for that state.  This works even if you do not have edit access in that state as of Jan 2018.  Subject to change with UR-MP script updates

The [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=213344 US Government Boundaries script] can be used to superimpose county boundaries on the map and place the county name in the upper left corner with the city/state.  This is very important to use so that you can verify you are closing the correct road segment in the correct county.  Some road names are used in more than one county.
