Why can't I add more points to a polygon?
There are limitations on the total number of polygon dots you can add depending on your user level:
- Level 0 users: 300 dots
- Level 1 users: 1000 dots
- Level 2 users: 2,500 dots
Why can't I create big polygons and why do I get the message: "Too big polygon"?
There are limitations on the polygon size you can make depending on your user level:
- Level 0 users: ~32 km²
- Level 1 users: ~244 km²
- Level 2 users: ~996,000 km²
Can I revert a polygon to the state before it was vandalized?
Yes you can. You can do this by applying the correct polygon state of a previous revision as current.
Can I delete a polygon?
No, this isn't possible. If you think the polygon shape is wrong, you should resize it so that it is correct. If the incorrect polygon has hundreds of dots and you find it too laborious to correct manually, please contact an Advanced User to assist you.
I don't understand guideline 1.2. "A place must have at least a properly constructed outline"?
This is a minimum requirement for a place object to be acceptable. A polygon should clearly outline a map object you are marking in the aerial/satellite image. A properly constructed outline means a polygon should never overlap an area that is not part of the object.
A place object should have an accurate outline but it doesn't need a title or description, although the inclusion of which is preferred for the place object to be useful. If the place object lacks proper details, it is still possible for other users to improve it.
I tried to add new points to a polygon, but I failed. What is the reason? (150 points limitation)
I added a polygon for a place but my edit count stayed the same. Why?
Can I use polygons as arrows or waymarkers to indicate the route or direction of a place?
No. This is because arrows and waymarkers aren't real places with definable outlines. Polygons should not be manipulated to indicate anything other than the outline of a place.
