Gym was accepted to be moved by wayfarer but didn’t move

[DTrain2002]

There can only be 1 Wayspot per L17 S2 cell. It appears that the loving friends memorial is in the same L17 S2 cell as the library Wayspot, and it’s possible that after the location edit was accepted, the friends memorial became the Wayspot for this cell after syncing the new coordinates.

Gyms are determined based off of the larger L14 S2 cells, so I’m thinking another Wayspot in the L14 cell randomly became a gym.

More info on S2 cells and how they determine game play locations in PoGo can be found here:

Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)

I have this written up for when I see a wheresmypokestop question. I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a “Pokestop” but you are actually submitting a Wayspot to the database. The Wayspot can only become a Pokestop or gym if it is alone in a level 17 S2 cell. The S2 cell use has not been officially confirmed as far as I am aware, but staff has acknowledged there is an additional step after acceptance. This is a good article about S2 cells and how they have been observed to be use…
