I live in an area where tons of data is missing. I mean the whole areas with no street addresses, missing streets, missing bike routes, etc.
Is there a guide or special tools for preparing to make massive edits like this? Is there a particular work flow that people use or resources? How do I even get started?
For this it’s best to contact your local group
Unfortunately there’s no local group
Then ask the neighbouring group if there’s not even one on the country level. It’s really best if you talk to those people who map in the area or next to it.
Where do you find groups?
E.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Matrix
Thank you :)
https://openstreetmap.community
Thank you :)
I tried the Matrix and the Discord last night, but couldn’t find anything for the UK, never mind Wales.

With the project starting in London the mailing lists have a lot of inertia behind them for British mappers. If you join I’d recommend a dedicated email address.
There’s a full listing on the wiki, but talk-gb is probably the biggest.

They also have a local chapter that organises quarterly projects, but I don’t think they host much in the way of discussion.
