Here’s that copy/paste to help Aaron remember to do what’s sensible again, since it doesn’t seem to happen when I don’t post it:
Unfortunately, not everyone who makes policies at Niantic is smart. Most people would look at this and see that one church is now another churchpub is now another pub and would update the wayspot appropriately since it’s materially the same eligible thing in the same place, just with a different name.
The official stance from Niantic, which isn’t properly published anywhere, is that this is perfectly acceptable if one mural has been replaced by another mural, or by a graffiti tag, or by a single color splotch of paint, but that for any non-mural wayspots, it’s abuse to submit edits that improve the existing eligible wayspot with information about the still-eligible thing that is materially similar and currently present.
