Change formatting of forum sharing options
When an editor uses the new forum sharing options which is great, because of the order of the data on the request, valuable information is being overlooked.
For example, the current Unlock Request automatically fills in the following information:
Hi Editors,
I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s).
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Permalink: https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=29.63406&lon=-104.27920&zoom=5&segments=516527406
Reason:
Unlock to level:
Thank you in advance,
The "reason" and "unlock to level" kind of blend in.
My suggestions would be to
1. automatically fill in the "unlock to level" information with the rank of the editor making the request.
2. move the "reason" above the PL
As a sample:

Unlock to level: 1 (autofilled based off rank)
Thank you in advance,
As a bonus, adding the current lock level of the segment would be nice.
Instead of
"Unlock to level: 1" (autofilled based off rank)
it could be
"Unlock from level 5 to level: 1" (autofilled based off rank)
Thanks for your consideration

Congrats! This suggestion is now availble in the WME.
We've update the Unlock Request forum message to a more general message, and now auto-populate the "Unlock to level" field with the requesting user's level. Object types have also been added.

FYI, this suggestion is not in WME and never has been added.
I will repost this suggestion so that we can start again

Also change the drop down labels when sharing on forums.
Request an unlock = Unlock this so I can make the change myself
Request a map update = Someone else make this change for meBe more clear. We're using jargon instead of clear terms.

Great idea. I'll go one step beyond this and suggest a new mandatory field for Reason on the Share on Waze Forum link, rather then the user having to add the Reason directly in the Forum. At least then then would be able to go past the Share button without having a Reason input first.
