Wherigo adoption

[+FloridaPanther]

I would like to adopt two Wherigo's that a good friend has since archived.  I have access to the cartridges as I want to change the Final location of both.  Unfortunately, we don't know how to reactivate the cache page and not lose the "Related Page" to the cartridge.  It sure would save a lot of time if I don't have to rebuild everything.

I've sent an email to the reviewer that published both of the caches.  Thoughts and ideas?

I remember quite a few years ago that after a mail to geocaching.com (Contact Us at the bottom of all forum pages), IIRC, all related were adopted over.

But in '15, another received a Different Reply . 

The help Center now says "If you have questions, please post them in the Wherigo Forums", so I'd guess that's your best bet.

They don't allow adoption of archived caches, so you'd have to make new cache listings. As for how to transfer over the cartridge, I don't know.

Caches won't be unarchived for adoption.  If you're moving the finals anyway new listings make more sense.

You don't need to link to the cartridge in the related web page field, in fact, I'd suggest NOT doing it that way. The current cache report system doesn't support that, and not all devices will have that link. Link to cartridge in the body of the cache page.

You'll need to be able to rewrite the cartridge to create the new final, ie, you'll have to own the cartridge.  Or at a minimum, have the current owner's password on Wherigo.com. OR he can send you the GWC and you can work from that and upload it to Wherigo as a new cart, under your name. 

There may be  a mechanism for transferring listings on Wherigo.com, ask in the Wherigo forums about that.
