This article explains how to edit stops in the Moovit Editor, including how to handle specific scenarios you may encounter.
General Editing Tips:
- Always double-check: Before making any changes, carefully review the existing data.
- Use reliable sources: Refer to official transportation websites, maps, and schedules for accurate information.
- Be mindful of other projects: If a station is associated with multiple projects, your edits may only affect your specific project.
Handling Special Cases:
1. Station Belongs to Multiple Projects:
-
Warning Message: "Deleting this station will only remove it from this project. It will remain in other projects where it is associated."
-
Explanation: This message indicates that the station is part of other projects within Moovit.
- Deleting the station in your current project will not remove it from those other projects.
- If you need to remove the station completely, you may need to edit or delete it within the other projects as well.
2. Station Cannot Be Deleted:
-
Warning Message: "This station cannot be deleted from this project. Please edit or delete it from the following projects: [List of project names]."
-
Explanation: This message indicates that the station is protected within your current project and cannot be deleted directly.
- To remove the station, you must edit or delete it within the specified projects listed in the warning message.
3. Station from Official Source:
-
Warning Message: "This station belongs to an official data provider and cannot be deleted."
-
Explanation: This message indicates that the station's data is sourced from an official provider (e.g., a transit agency).
- You cannot directly delete stations from official sources.
- If you believe the station information is incorrect, ask for review by Moovit's data team.
4. Station Belongs to Community and Official Source:
-
Warning Message: "Deleting this station will remove it from this project only. It will remain in the official data source."
-
Explanation: This message indicates that the station exists in both your community project and an official data source.
- Deleting the station in your project will not affect the station's presence in the official data source.
