Can a challenge be added to our completed list? GC5BF5

Question

The Utah counties challenge (the first state counties challenge) was called Cache Across Utah, GC5BF5. We signed this on 16 Dec 2008, but it does not show on our list of completed Challenges. Can this cache be added to the Challenges list? It was created before the Challenge designation became common practice.

Thank you.

Answer 1

When the new challenge attributes was introduced recently, Geocaching HQ used the challenge exception list we had been running up to that point. I don't know how HQ will interact with that list in the future, but I've nominated this cache to our exception list.

Answer 2

It might be an idea to send a message to the cache owner asking for the new attribute to be added to the cache. Project-GC is likely to switch over to using the attribute to determine which caches are challenges soon (once most/all challenges have this attribute).
