Manual Sync Needed for Approved Edit Title: [SYNC BUG] Location Edit Approved but not appearing in-game - Ticket #40694777 I am reporting a persistent sync failure for Immanuel Lutheran Church Hall (45°37’00.9"N, 122°35’11.0"W). Support Ticket #40623582 successfully moved the pin to clear a cell …

Hey @Princegood123 , Thanks for writing in. I see that the Wayspot “Immanuel Lutheran Church Hall” has been retired and the Wayspot “Immanuel Lutheran Church” has been moved to its correct location. These should now reflect on the gameboard. Thanks,

I appreciate the insight, @CostcoShopper13 . To clarify, my goal isn’t just about adding a visible Stop in a crowded L17 cell. As a ‘LIVE’ Wayspot in the Lightship database, the Hall contributes to the overall density of the larger L14 S2 Cell. When the database reflects the correct ‘Live’ count, it…

I’m not an expert, but as far as I know, this won’t trigger a gym. I believe gyms are triggered by the number of level 17 cells with at least one wayspot.

That’s not the case, it’s based on the stops actually populating in game. (I’ve dealt with stops like this and gym creation; also with sponsored stops that were not appearing in Wayfarer but WERE counted toward gym creation.)

Interesting points from both @Pokemaster4u2 and @CostcoShopper13 . While the L17 rule is the standard, the ‘sponsored’ or ‘hidden’ behavior aligns with how Lightship density often functions behind the scenes. My main focus remains the stalled sync on Ticket #40623582. Once the Hall is properly recog…

That’s not going to work. I just skimmed over and counted… the L14 grid that covers half of my local mall has 24 “live” spots, but due to cell rules, only 13 are populating in game. It has 2 gyms, not 3. So the “live” but unpopulated stops clearly are not being counted. (partial grid shown, the re…

Look, whatever AI you are using, it’s telling you completely incorrect things. This is not how gym creation works and there are no “approved updates a CM can push” for the count of wayspots present in Pokémon GO to exceed its density rules. There is no “hidden Lightship behavior”. There are no “glob…

[image] Princegood123: Currently, because Ticket #40623582 hasn’t synced and the pin is ‘staged,’ the Hall is a ‘Ghost’ that isn’t being counted toward that density. This comment makes zero sense. Please show a screenshot of the confirmation that Niantic was going to move this to the coordin…

You seem to have received plenty of advice from actual Wayfarers that have used the system over years and the probably pitfalls of using AI to “give facts”. Just a couple of points. Just checked the map and the sign seems to have been moved to the Entrance. As this is still in the same L17 cell it…

[image] That must have just happened. It was still in the old location when I responded. On the submit map, it looks like the Wayspot for the hall has been removed.

I had already started writing my reply, opened the map to confirm “Occupied Cells” and had to re-write my comment :slight_smile: It’s actual the “Church” that has moved, it was previously pinned at the site of the “sign” on the street corner.

Both are fine usually. But I don’t want to issue a blanket statement. It may depend on individual cases.
