Enable Admins to Mark/UnMark Individual Tiles as not needed to map

[MarkCupitt]

A useful feature would be to allow Admins to mark a tile as not required to map. A couple of examples of where this would be useful would be if the initial area was a little too large, or irregular borders made mapping the tile not worth it, mountainous areas inside a group of tiles, lakes or seas inside a group of tiles. Also, a decision may be taken at some stage to not map a few tiles to focus mapping efforts on specific areas in one job. A god example of this scenario would be a crisis mapping where the focus was on rural areas, but there was a city in the middle. Tiles could be marked as Not required to prevent wasting effort on mapping the city if it was not part of the crisis. This saves having to create multiple tasks to handle these scenarios.

By marking these as not required, it improves the mapping stats (they should be deducted form the total tiles to map) and allows fine grained control of the exact area to map and saves valuable resources by not mapping areas not required.

Of course, being able to mark them later as required would be a huge bonus as well

To implement it, would be simple on the user interface, check if the user accessing the task is an admin user, or the user who created the task then display a a button. When a tile is clicked on, the Button text could change to show Required/Not Required depending on the state of the tile. If the tile is already marked as complete or Current, the button would be disabled.

Just a suggestion ...
