OpenStreetMap offers so many new things to learn :) Here’s an example overpass query for myself: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1FG7 Just move the map to you area of interest, and in the code change the “user” to your username. Then click “Run” (or something similar, depending on the language). You can change the “way” part to “node” or “nwr” to extract different types of data. Or you can add [“building”] to just show buildings you last touched. Minor warning is that this shows things you were the last to edit. So if someone else is active in your area, your edits will disappear. If you’ve been active for a while, but only see your recent changes, we can add (newer:“2023-01-01T00:00:00Z”) near the username.
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr is really pretty self-explanatory. It is similar to Google MyMaps, but built by the OSM community. A beginner’s guide is available here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UMap/Guide
You could manually draw polygons in a umap to do this. Or you could use an Overpass Turbo query to show all the ways you edited recently to have a visual of where you have and haven’t worked. I can give you some queries to start with if you like.
“Made unusable”: that’s not how it works. Even with occasional vandalism, there’s so much more people positively contributing, that overall the map just keeps on getting better and better.
