Re: Edit checker to include the recent 20th Anniversary event

Hello, my challenge cache 12 x 8 Challenge (TFD Made Me Do It!) GC8D4W7 needs an edit to add the Geocaching 20th Anniversary Celebration event to the list of qualifying event types.
Thank you!

Some Context on the PGC Challenge Checker Infrastructure
The challenge checker infrastructure is split into two parts. First, there are scripts, that usually check for something generic like "X finds of Y cache type". Then, there are tags, which associate scripts to actual challenge caches. For example, a tag might say that "to qualify for GC12345, run 'X finds of Y cache type' with X=100 and Y=Multi-cache". This makes scripts re-usable for multiple challenge caches.

Unfortunately, the script that your tag references is not generic in this way. It hard-codes the event types as Event, Mega Event, Giga Event, CITO, GPS Maze, and CCE. While it is possible to update the script, and as reasonable as your request is, doing so would affect every other challenge using this script. This is not ideal; it is generally a good idea for scripts to maintain consistency.

We could create an entirely new checker, just for your challenge, if you'd like. However, it will reset the statistics.
