Changing single to multi?

[jfpinell]

How does one change the single to multi stage on the listing? Is the only way to archive the single and re-do the whole thing as a multi? (Check my "50% need not apply" for what I wanna' do) I found some cute other hiding areas but the thing apparently feels more than 1 in this area is too many, so I tried making this into 1 multi instead of hiding 2 or 3 more singles. As noted in my description, I wasn't sure how to change that on the edit page. Is there a way to change its listing or do you have to re-do the whole thing and have it republished? Apparently 1 person already found the multi but said the way I went about it on its listing here could confuse people.

Archive, re-list.

Reason? It changes the Stats of anyone that has found it.

 

(Reviewers can change it, but rarely do, especially if it's had a few finders)

You have no finds...

There is a reason that it's suggested you find a few caches, before you hide any.

It does give you a better idea of the game!

Before hiding any caches, it's highly recommended that you read the Guidelines and the Help Center.

3.13. Editing a Published Listing: Major Change.

 

If you need to change the coordinates beyond 0.1 miles (528 feet or 161 m), or change the type of geocache, please contact your local reviewer. The reviewer will check the changes for adherence to the current guidelines and notify you when the changes have been made, or suggest that a new geocache listing should be submitted. Please be sure to follow any instructions the reviewer may send you.

 

There is a link to the profile page of the reviewer that reviewed your geocache listing in the bottom of your geocache page (you must be logged in). If you email a reviewer and do not receive a reply within one week, the reviewer account may be inactive and you will need to contact us at Groundspeak. contact@geocaching.com

 

When you contact the reviewer or Groundspeak please provide the geocache name and GC Code for the listing.

 

You will need to archive the cache and submit for review a new cache that is a multicache. The new multicache will be subject to all the same criteria, including the Saturation guidelines.

Not exactly. The 50% need not apply as changed around and submitted for re-listing. The Nanoregular has been active for awhile after being "taken over" I'm hoping my new "50%" gets put (back) up.

-Unless I'm misreading that reply. The "50%" one was changed to a multi because I found a few more cute spots.
