= JOSM Validator Rules =
[[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/validator.png,middle,margin-right=20)]] 
The JOSM [wiki:Help/Dialog/Validator validator] ([[Help/Validator/MapCSSTagChecker|Tag checker]]) can be customized with different rules based on [[Help/Styles/MapCSSImplementation|MapCSS]].


== Choose Rules ==
There are base rules (e.g. [source:trunk/data/validator/geometry.mapcss Geometry] or [source:trunk/data/validator/highway.mapcss Highways]) that cover dedicated features each. They can be combined with add-on rules that cover more special topics:

[[Styles(en|rules|short description|author|description|version|More details)]]

To add more rules to your list, open the [Help/Preferences/Validator Validator Preferences]: Edit -> Preferences -> [[Image(source:trunk/images/preferences/validator.png,15)]] Validator -> Tag Checker Rules (2nd tab)''

== Create new rules ==
If you want to add your rules to this list use one of the two options:
 * Simply create a page in this wiki with your rule, e.g. [wiki:Rules/MyRuleName]. This is similar to [wiki:Styles#Makeyourstyleavailabletootherusers Styles] and [wiki:Presets#Createnewpresets Presets]. See there for more information about this topic.
 * Externally hosted rule URLs can be entered when editing the [wiki:RulesSource RulesSource page].
 * If your rule applies to a limited area, use [wiki:Help/Styles/MapCSSImplementation#Territoryselector Territory selectors], to limit the execution to the area.

=== Rules managed in JOSM wiki ===
JOSM wiki based Rules is the preferred method.
