Hello,

I also found this confusing. I originally assumed the Wayfarer site was where the nomination happened, but that actually is done in the game itself. In Pokemon Go, for instance (other Niantic games may vary), you do the following:  
—open the SETTINGS menu (the gear icon)  
—select UPLOADS  
—under the heading POKESTOP CONTRIBUTIONS, select NEW POKESTOP

I found the process pretty straightforward from that point on, but I’m glad I couldn’t upload while at the place because it allowed me to come home and reread everything before uploading.

Hope this helps,  
Joy

I’m retiring the channel but unlike Niantics I’m not deleting it. Look at most of my recent videos to see me nominating points of interest in Pokemon Go

Wow no more links? Search for this channel on YouTube

Links from Google sites typically aren’t allowed, and Google owns YT. I know, it’s weird, being that Google is one of the main login options.

Why does the game ask me to access Wayfarer and complete a tutorial when there is none to complete?

The tutorial is not a test like it used to be. Nowadays you get shown a few onboarding images that teach you the basics. You likely did click through them when you first logged into wayfarer.

Once you’ve done that you’re able to submit and review (though I suggest maybe checking out the criteria pages on wayfarer first). It may take Pokémon Go/Ingress (depending on which game you used to qualify for wayfarer) a couple of days to recognise you’ve done the onboarding, though it’s usually quicker than that.

Is this something you are submitting? Based on the photos, I would reject this. I do not see how this meets any of the criteria to be a great place to:

- exercise
- socialize
- explore

Keep in mind that the thing you are submitting must be a _designated_ place for those things. “People walk by this while exercising or can stop to have a social chat in front of it” do not make this thing meet the criteria of being a great place _designated_ for those things.

Pupil? Is this on school property? Then it is ineligible for that reason, too.

I don’t see why a Roskis would be a place to exercise, meet up with a friend, or a destination to explore.

If you have seen these in game, they probably have art on them, and the ART is why it is a wayspot.
