You sure do. Everyone does. Your username and password are the same as the rest of the site. Have a go and see what happens.

After disappointingly missing out on two gnomes :gnome :gnome this morning I've come home to play with the Wiki.

I've created my first page but would like to confirm something I've included in the GeoKrety page (http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Geokrety). They say on http://geokrety.org/help.php#fullysupportedwaypoints that GCA caches are fully supported with daily updates but I wanted to check with you guys when their reference info was last updated. I tried testing testing they Waypoint Search facility with older trad hides and the lookup worked fine, but when I tried it with a few 2015 dated caches they couldn't be found.

Sorry I have no idea how they would be doing this.
The last their AU DB ws updates is:
GA 5413 2014-08-20 12:56:29
They don't have a feed, they just seem to do it adhoc.

This is one of the reasons we dropped Swaggies. We cannot track them outside our site and they get dropped into GC caches all the time.

Thanks C@W. Ad Hoc is very different to "updated daily" they profess.
