This challenge is not possible because the source of criteria is not a valid criteria. A challenge cache is part of the mystery cache type and can only be selected by the word challenge in the cache title.

This criteria is not allowed, please read

Thanks, that will do.

My reflection : Challenge cache could be identify (distinguish from other unknown) as they appear on this site. Therefore,they are not identify from their name but from their type. Out of curiosity, is such checker doesn't exist because the programming is not possible or because identifying caches types with Project-GC doesn't fullfil geocaching requierements for Challenges?

The limitation is not the checker system. Challenge caches published prior to April 21, 2015, which are grandfathered, have checkers identifying challenges.

Unfortunately the new guidelines are preventing publication.
