Hello Explorers,
Thank you for sharing that some of you at Level 38 in Pokémon GO can't make new Wayspot nominations. We are currently working on it and will keep you posted.
Safe Exploring!

Isn't this a in-game issue and not a Wayfarer issue? Any word on the missing Ingress portals from the Munich event?
‘I don’t want a thread about Pokemon Go, I want a thread about Ingress!’
It’s about access to wayfarer via Pokémon Go so I would say that is a wayfarer issue as it must be something to do with the gateway to wayfarer.
Thanks for up date @NianticTintino
You call it an issue, I call it improvement ;)
Yeah, I'm trying really hard not to be sarcastic about this "problem."
Don’t be silly. Only the money printer gets problems addressed immediately.
Doesn't bother acknowledging anything else, that is fantastic.
Very telling reaction to this post from the wayfarer community.
Thanks for the update! @NianticTintino, would it be possible to pin this thread until the issue is resolved?
Not noticed any difference.
Nope, about the same. However, in understanding what many folks in here are complaining about receiving, I receive hardly any; comparatively speaking.

@Yunja3069-PGO known issue here.
I have the same problem as of 08/09/22 I'm just about level 39 and submitted a PokeStop nomination and a photo that "was excepted" less than a week ago. But now it says "unlock at 38" and it's no longer accessable for me either, so happy I found this post. Good luck on finding out the issue. @Aloni808-PGO
@NianticTintino Please read us if you want any Updates! The problem appeared for more than four days!
I'm level 38 and I have the same problem. I hope they fix this soon :)
Same problem here, still cant add Pokestops although Im lvl 38.
It’s the weekend now. Don’t expect any Niantic action until Monday.
Same problem here. Even though I am level 38, I cannot make new nominations. The field is inactive and say "unlocks at level 38". I made 5 nominations last week.
Actualizaron el juego pero el problema perciste :/
Hello Explorers,
A quick update, we have been working on a fix and will have more updated next week. Thank you all for your patience on this issue.
Happy Weekend and Safe Exploring!
Great to hear Pokemon Go cares about fixing their broken Wayfarer system. Can you call up the Pikmin team and get them to fix theirs? 😂 We would love new wayspots in Pikmin, it has almost been a year!
If the money printer game isn’t being fixed for a week, I don’t have high hopes for Pikmin Bloom, though I’d love to see a mushroom/flower sync.
I just hit level 38, and I have the same problem. I hope they can fix it soon 😊
A friend was facing this issue and now it's better. An action that lets you create Wayspot nominations is working.
I hope all of you who are experiencing issues will get better soon.
Is it too late now to have the "New Pokestop","Pokestop Contribution" reworded to "New Wayspot","Wayfarer Contribution" while fixing this related issue @NianticTintino ? The wording causes so much misunderstanding, it would at least have the new people question what do those terms mean as a jump-off point and distinction from Wayfarer and that game.
@PaulingZubat-PGO No, actually; it's not. It doesn't even require actual recoding of the the software, either.
It takes someone at Niantic with access to the raw code to change simple text for each of the language versions Niantic use; and then switch out the old for the new before the next time the software is recompiled for distribution. The new wording will then be in place after the next time Niantic issues an update.
It is no more difficult, really, than it is for them to change out the starting screen image that pops up on your screen as the game is loading.
The problem is not in accomplishing the task; it's in getting them to do it. {sigh}
I just hit level 38, and I have the same problem. So when can fix it？
They mentioned an update next week, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a fix, so just have to wait.
For anyone who still wants to nominate and can’t, you can always make triangles on Ingress and get to level 10, and do it. If you’re in a dense area you can probably do it in a weekend.
