Trainer Name not displayed on Approved Wayspots

Bug Reports should include the following and any additional information you feel is necessary to aid in the investigation of the bug.

  • Description of the issue

My in-game codename name does not appear on any wayspot submissions that I have had recently approved that now appear in Pokemon Go. I confirm that the “Codename Display for Wayfarer Submissions” is still enabled under my Wayfarer Profile. Is there another setting that I should have enabled or is this just a bug?

Did you submit these through Pokemon GO or the Wayfarer website? It is a known issue that website submissions do not display your trainer name.

I have been submitting my recent nominations via the website. Thanks for all your help.

The codename display feature is not yet available for Web submissions.

Will it ever be available? Why wasn’t this ever communicated when web submissions launched or any time previously til now?

I’m unable to commit to it at this time. Having said that, Web submissions is at a very nascent stage at this moment and we have multiple improvements planned.

All staff probably didn’t even know, or “not yet available” is a shift from what may have been unintended behavior.

This was acknowledged. Let me see if I can find it. Well, I thought it was. Maybe Cyndie can find it.

I already did and shared in WDD.

I had missed that the first time through, and had recently been pointed to this. But now I can’t find that recent conversation, so am glad Gendgi posted the link in WDD

Is there any update on this? It has been a few months now. Part of the thrill for me is seeing my name appear on stops that I have created so I am holding off using the web submission for any that I want to see my name on until I know they definitely will.

We have shared the feedback with the team. We will announce once this feature is available in the Web submissions.

Is there any chance that when this is fixed, past nominations using the web submit would have our names added?

If that were possible, I would love to see that applied to all the old Ingress-submitted nominations that didn’t show the nickname in Pokémon GO as well. :slightly_smiling_face:

Unfortunately, I’m unable to confirm that at this time.

I think I’m the outlier, I prefer my name not to be on the POI, which is one of the main reasons I only submitted through Ingress before the split. To each their own.

Is it safe to assume then that the statistics for any wayspot created via the website will still be included in the monthly Wayfarer Recognition Email?

There’s an option to choose, but even though mine is set to show, it doesn’t. So I think we should be able to choose, and have the choice actually carried out

And it is also a known issue that the submitters name does not show when submitted through wayfarer.

We just have to wait until this gets to the top of the “Fix Pile” :frowning:

Based on Aaron’s response, I assume if it was going onto a pile to be looked at, he’d have said so. So I assume this will never be fixed and if I want credit for any stops I should swap back to the app.
