Sure; I've made the change.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
...however the Challenge itself is already published and grandfathered. I see no issue with editing the tag to include more.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Some of the most popular scripts have hundreds or even thousands of tags. This makes loading, searching, and editing tags on that page slow. Is there some mechanism through which one could reduce the number of tags that appear at once?by Hügh - Miscellaneous
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9YHP9/70630 Please test and confirm that this is working as expected. Note that you still need three more finds to qualify.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
That will automatically get added once your cache is published.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I would like some clarification. Are you looking for "five types found"? Or "five types in each of five countries"? Or "five types across five countries"? If you could give an example of caches that would qualify that would be helpful.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Changes have been made. Accepted types are Traditional Cache, Multi-cache, Unknown Cache, Letterbox Hybrid, and Wherigo Cache. I have not included Geocaching HQ/Project APE since those have logbooks but they are not located in sister cities thus could not possibly be used to qualify. Note that for everything other than Traditional, it is the posted coordinates that count.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9YHJG/70629 Accepted sizes are (Micro, Small, Regular, Large, Not chosen, Virtual, and Other).

Ok. Give me one moment. The link will be the same so you can put it in your cache page and get ready to submit to the Reviewer.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
When you say "Physical" cache -- any cache with a logbook? (so no Event, GPS Maze, Locationless, Virtual, EC, etc...)by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here is a Checker. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9XZP0/70603 It currently requires a single Traditional (*) cache find in at least one of: - United Kingdom (Country), Southern Scotland (Region), Edinburgh (County) - France (Country), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Region), Gironde (County) - United States (Country), Ohio (Region), Hamilton County (OH) (County) - Ukraine (Country), Kyiv (Reby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I have set up a checker which one might consider to be a "helper" script. It will print a list of caches that you've found that contain the names of U.S. states. I have not included postal abbreviations since many are common words (ie. "in", "me", and "or") and would clog the output. It will be your responsibility to go through the list and select cachby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

As Foolie says, this is not publishable. The specific Guideline preventing this is QuoteChallenge Cache Guidelines; Section 14: Positive Challenge Criteria NOT ACCEPTABLE:.Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds must be Attended logs, challenges that require finding only some partiby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Your Reviewer will not publish this. QuoteChallenge Cache Guidelines; Section 14: Positive Challenge Criteria NOT ACCEPTABLE: Competition rather than achievement. Examples: challenges based on "First to Finds" or lonely caches are competitions. In addition, Challenge Caches generally cannot have moving goalposts. Targets should be fixed.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
A change to the original will not affect cloned versions. Still, I always recommend that everyone asks a tagger to clone on their behalf.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Generally I advise people not to clone checkers, and to ask a tagger to clone them on their behalf instead, since (non-tagger) cloned tags are immutable. In the off chance that , the tag can easily be altered to meet the new conditions, instead of a whole new listing/GC# needing to be created.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I strongly believe that this should be publishable. (Make sure that you clarify that you are not requiring finds in the city, but in the county within which the city sits.) However, in the off chance it is not, I will wait until your Reviewer responds. This will take some research effort on my part, that I would rather avoid if the checker will not live to see the light of day.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Requiring Adventure Lab finds is not permitted. QuoteChallenge Cache Guidelines; 10. Source of Criteria NOT ACCEPTABLE: Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Your Reviewer's justification sounds strange to me. There is a huge difference between: QuoteFind a cache in 3 non-sovereign countries or territories. and QuoteFind at least 6512 caches in Canada, and at least 308 caches in the United States, and at least 202 caches in Japan... One of those is a very specific list that I have "maliciously" constructed (in fact, those areby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
No, there are no precedents for Challenge caches. Just because one exists elsewhere it does not means that new identical ones can be placed. This is stated at the bottom of the Challenge Cache Guidelines page. I recently reported such a Challenge to HQ. They quickly archived & locked the listing. I would double-check again with your Reviewer.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
A good rule of thumb recommended by my Reviewer is that is should not be possible to "un-qualify" (lose qualification status) just by continuing playing the game. You qualify once, you qualify forever. (Unless of course you couch-log caches and then the CO deletes your logs -- of course then you might lose qualification status.)by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
What the Challenge Cache Guidelines say is: QuoteChallenge Cache Guidelines Challenge cache criteria may be based upon these geographic areas: countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). Hence, a Challenge cache based on finding caches in cities is not publishable. Unless, of course, the city is in its own county. For example, "find one cache in the city of Loby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
They said QuoteNo continuance needed. I do not understand this, but it sounds like this is not a streak challenge—no "continuance." However the Challenge is still not publishable; because QuoteNOT ACCEPTABLE: Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Probably via Geocaching.com. https://www.geocaching.com/p/?u=pieterix Link to this thread so that they know why. Best place to learn is to look at existing Challenge Checkers. I see you already know how to read tags so you are already several steps ahead. The actual process of gaining access is described here (and in the few subsequent questions.)

I have recreated them all, now including Lab caches.

I think vogelbird got confused. There is however still an issue. Those two checkers are on a different script that the earlier ones -- notice the "Script name" (in the grey box) is different. All the checkers will have to be re-created.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
