Major Station Upgrade - How to proceed?
My local train station has undergone a significant upgrade. Details are here, but in short there is now a second concourse which stretches over the southern end of the platforms, and provides an entrance at either end.
Previously, there was a much smaller station entrance at the southern end of the station, which provided access to only the single east-most platform, where passengers would access the rest of the station by walking the length of that platform to access the main concourse onto the other platforms where most regular services run. That entrance previously existed as a wayspot - "Redfern Station West Entrance" (Ingress Intel Map).
That entrance is gone, and there is simply more fencing where it previously stood, but there new entrance after the upgrade is only about 20m from where the previous one stood.
It's not really clear how this 'should' be treated on Wayfarer.
Should I be editing the existing wayspot over to the new entrance? Or should it be a deletion of the old spot and a new one?
Because I've tried both.
The Editing Approach
- Change the name from "Redfern Station West Entrance" (which was always wrong, this entrance is/was east of the platforms, and is doubly wrong now that there is also actually an entrance west of the platforms) to "Redfern Station Southeast Entrance" - REJECTED
- Edit the location to reflect the new position - REJECTED
- Add a new photo of the new entrance, with an angle where you could also see that the old entrance is no longer there - REJECTED
The New Wayspot Approach
- Report the existing wayspot as permanently removed - REJECTED

If I'm going to go down the road of filing an appeal for these rejections, which set of changes makes the most sense for people? Should I even bother?
Comments
The best option is probably to appeal the invalid wayspot report rejection since it is an entrance to the recently completed southern walkway, rather than the old access between one platform and the ATP.
Then you can do a new submission and not have to worry about dealing with all the old data/photos.
