Are you a new Wazer or editor?
Editing Waze maps is easy. But before you start contributing to the Waze Wiki we recommend that you have a good understanding and experience of Waze and its forums. Why? Because some details of Waze can be understood only if you have Waze knowledge and experience.

Finally, before you make your first changes, please review the Wiki Editing Etiquette and Wiki Manual of Style (Style Guide).
