    1111== Usage ==
    12 * Click on the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/validator,16,top,link=)]] ''Validation'' button at the bottom of the validator panel or press `Shift+V` to run the validation process:
     12* Click on the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/validator)]] ''Validation'' button at the bottom of the validator panel or press `Shift+V` to run the validation process:
    1313 * If there are currently no [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList selected objects], then it checks all objects in [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#LayerButtons the current layer].
    1414 * If there are selected objects, then it checks only selected objects.
    15 * Most of the errors must be manually fixed, while some of them can be automatically fixed by selecting the error or errors and clicking the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/fix,16,middle,link=)]] ''Fix'' button.
     15* Most of the errors must be manually fixed, while some of them can be automatically fixed by selecting the error or errors and clicking the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/fix)]] ''Fix'' button. As Validator might not be always perfect, it is still the user's duty to check the result of the action.
     16 * The two tables, [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Validator#TestsTable Tests] and [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Validator#MapCssBasedTests MapCSS Tests] offer little more explanation about each the test.
    1617* Use the right click menu to "Zoom to problem".
    1718* Multiple objects with the same symptom are [wikitr:/Help/Validator/MapCSSTagChecker#Grouping grouped together].

    23 The validator will check the data and display all errors, categorized as [[JOSMImage(data/error,16,middle,link=)]] ''errors'', [[JOSMImage(data/warning,16,middle,link=))]] ''warnings'', and [[JOSMImage(data/other,16,middle,link=))]] ''other'', depending on the severity of the error as a list. Additionally a new [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList validation layer] is added, which shows you where the problem cases are located in the mapview (can be disabled in the preferences). By default only errors of level ''error'' and ''warning'' will be displayed. Warnings of level ''other'' can be enabled in the preferences but produce more false positives and thus need more care from the user.

    3644== Ignore List Management ==
     
    3947This dialog allows to remove items from the ignore list. You can use the delete key or the right mouse button to remove items. **If you see only numbers and no descriptive texts the list was migrated from older JOSM versions. In this case it is recommended to remove all items and ignore them again to get the descriptive texts shown above.**

    41 **Note:** in the context menu of an error in the list there is the entry [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete,16,middle,link=))]] ''Ignore for now''. This just removes the entry from the list but does not add it to the ignore list. Therefore it will appear again on the next validation run.
     49**Note:** in the context menu of an error in the list there is the entry [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete,24,middle,link=))]] ''Ignore for now''. This just removes the entry from the list but does not add it to the ignore list. Therefore it will appear again on the next validation run.
