You are eligible to participate in the challenge if you are an eligible Wayfarer Explorer (meaning you are at least Level 37 Trainer in Pokémon GO or Level 10 Agent in Ingress and have completed the Wayfarer Onboarding)
iirc, you have to be level 38 in Pokemon Go to submit edits. So level 37 would qualify to make nominations and review, but not to participate in this challenge.

I suggest starting new threads for new topics. Otherwise it gets lost in one big thread.

I can’t even find the announcement again without going to where it is pinned on WDD - I won’t bother posting anything about the challenge then.

I’m in the same boat as you. I saw the announcement earlier. I went to find it, I clicked the “Edits Challenge” button and there’s nothing here.

People who reached level 38 on Pokemon Go and Level 10 Agent in Ingress are eligible to participate in the challenge if they are an eligible Wayfarer Explorer.
But does the Wayfarer Onboarding need to be completed for both games for a hybrid person (a person who plays both games) to have edits from both games counted towards the challenge or do they just need to complete the Wayfarer Onboarding in one of them? We have Niantic ID profiles nowadays compared to the old days where one had to use either their Pokemon Go username or their Ingress username as a Wayfarer.
Only thing I can think that will stop them in Ingress is being under the level from recursing unless recursed agents are eligible like they are eligible for the annual Ingress badge.

recursed agents are eligible. each wayfarer has one id, so edits from both games will count for the challenge. i can’t answer from experience if you have to onboard separately. i have been eligible in both so long, but i only had to take that test back in the day once, so i don’t think you have to onboard separately.

I have tried editing a portal location in Ingress, but the feature seems broken. It allows to edit just a couple meters, but not enough when the location is wildly off.

There’s a 10m limit on location edits. You can request further moves on the forum or use the wayfarer app if you have access.

Uh I did 5 photo submissions today. The ML loved 4 of them 
I did all for the same wayspot and here’s the clue 
the wayspot is a playground (1 wayspot) and I added photos of every item on there. There’s no chance for trying to add single items as a wayspot! Future trash avoided

Hi,
As someone who has only recently reached Level 37, when I tried to edit a pokestop about 10 days ago (the title and photo do not match the location and there is no description), the options were greyed out and a message appeared stating I had to be at Level 38. This was even though I saw some posts from Niantic Help stating editing was at Level 37. Apparently, there was a bug: Reddit - Dive into anything
However, I have just tried accessing the edit function again and it will now allow me to access the options, so it appears the bug has been fixed and the announcement is correct.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
L15

Thank you! All these years with the mismatch and they fixed it that quickly. I wonder what else they could fix?

Processing my 19 nominations stuck in the “in voting” stage would be a start!

I didn’t understand.
You need to edit stuff for submission, is that it?
No more review???
Not a single announcement on the game?

Hi @KokoroSama
Welcome to the forum
You’re correct! This challenge is about edits.
Editing existing wayspots. Add new photos, correct/make better titles or descriptions.
Reviews are always welcome to reduce the backlog and earn upgrades, but for this challenge reviews have nothing to do with
@AliceWonder1511
For me is no. 
I do not have time to check the waypoints to do small edits or upload new photos.
It is time consuming for PoGo players and it is not a good one for them. Editing need to be on local to do it .
This challenge is more for Ingress players. They have the right tools to do it, without leaving their home.
We just had someone report NOT being able to like photos at Level 37. So this issue is not fixed.
Thank you for reporting the functions that are available at Level 37 now.
