MapRoulette is only recognizing nodes instead of ways

I’m trying to make a MapRoulette challenge to check on the alignment of roadways (ways) that haven’t been reviewed since the TIGER import. My Overpass Turbo query seems to be grabbing ways but when I use it in MapRoulette it’s making tasks out of the nodes and not the ways. What am I missing?

Query:

[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “"tiger:county"="Calvert, MD" and "tiger:reviewed"=*”
  way["tiger:county"="Calvert, MD"]["tiger:reviewed"];
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Maybe this works?

[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “"tiger:county"="Calvert, MD" and "tiger:reviewed"=*”
  way["tiger:county"="Calvert, MD"]["tiger:reviewed"];
);
// print results
out geom;

If it does not work, @mmd can help for sure.

Yes, that seems to be right. → Using Overpass to create Challenges | MapRoulette Docs (" Beware of Recursions") has some more details on Overpass queries for MapRoulette.

Note also that since 3.11.6 MapRoulette will show the Overpass query used to create any challenge you find. So if you find a challenge that tries to do something similar, you may pick up some hints from that. For example for MapRoulette MapRoulette will now show

area[name="North Carolina"]->.nc;
way["tiger:cfcc"](if(timestamp() < "2010-01-01T00:00:00Z"))(if(version() < 3))(area.nc);
out geom;

This worked! Thank you very much.
