Multi Cache

[+Linda_in_CA]

Can I edit a cache to change a traditional cache to a multi cache or do I need to archive the original and create a new multi cache?

 

Thanks,

Linda

 

Update: I just went into the edit mode, and it looks like that attribute cannot be changed. I think I have my answer. Thanks.

That's right, you can't I'm afraid. What you can do however is to archive and relist it as a new listing.

The Help Center is a valuable resource:

A recent change put "Hiding a Geocache" as a separate section, making it more prominent than it was previously:

If you need to change the coordinates beyond 0.1 miles (528 feet or 161 m), or change the type of cache, please contact your local reviewer. The reviewer will check the changes for adherence to the current guidelines and notify you when the changes have been made, or suggest that a new cache listing should be submitted. Please be sure to follow any instructions the reviewer may send you.

 

There is a link to the profile page of the reviewer that reviewed your cache listing in the bottom of your cache page (you must be logged in). If you email a reviewer and do not receive a reply within one week, the reviewer account may be inactive and you will need to contact us at Groundspeak.

When you contact the reviewer or Groundspeak please provide the cache name and GC Code for the listing.

 

3.10. Editing a Published Listing: Minor Change

You might wish to make minor changes to your cache page after it has been published. Your cache must still abide by the Guidelines.

 

To edit your listing, log in to your Geocaching.com account and display the listing. In the Navigation box in the upper right corner of the cache page, use the "edit listing" link. That will take you to the original cache report where you can edit the title, text, hint and cache size. You can also edit the difficulty and terrain ratings. You may wish to make adjustments after a few finds on a new cache, or if a cache container has been replaced.

 

Once you have made the changes, scroll to the bottom of the form and click the "submit changes" link and the two buttons:

Yes. I have read and understand the guidelines for listing a cache.

Yes. I have read and agree to the terms of use agreement.

 

You will find that you cannot change the cache type. Changing the cache type will retroactively alter the statistics of all previous finders, so we do not allow this field to be edited.
