			'''OpenChecker''' allows users to check their solution for the final coordinates for caches that are not hidden at the given initial coordinates (geocaches of type Quiz / Puzzle, Multicache, Other Type).

	OpenChecker ~~allow users to check coordinates of final cache for cache type "Quiz" (Puzzle), "Multicache" and "Other Type"~~		== Cache owner - setting up OpenChecker ==

	~~If you are~~ the owner of a Quiz/Other type cache, you can ~~give the chance to~~ other ~~users~~ to check their calculated/obtained coordinates of the final location before they go out cache ~~hunting~~.		=== Adding OpenChecker to your cache ===
			As the owner of a Quiz / Multicache / Other type cache, you can offer other geocachers looking for your cache to check their calculated/obtained coordinates for the final location before they actually go out in the field to search for the container.
			# Open cache edit page (press ''Edit'' button on top toolbar)
			# Click ''Add new waypoint''
			# Set waypoint type as '''''final location'''''
			# Enter the coordinates where you hid the box
			# Check the '''''OpenChecker''''' checkbox
			# Set ''Waypoint Status'' to '''''Hide this waypoint from cache view'''''
			# ''Save waypoint''
			Your cache now has OpenChecker and users can verify their solution:
			* On the cache page, below the cache description, you will see the OpenChecker section.
			* The cache is listed in the OpenChecker page.

	~~How~~ to ~~add your~~ cache to OpenChecker?		=== Removing a cache from OpenChecker ===
			# Open cache edit page (press ''Edit'' button on top toolbar)
			# Scroll down to the waypoints list
			# Click ''Edit'' on the '''''Final location''''' waypoint
			# Uncheck the '''''OpenChecker''''' checkbox
			Your cache no longer has OpenChecker.

	~~1. Open~~ cache ~~edit panel~~		== Searching for the cache - verifying your solution ==
	~~2. Click add new waypoint~~
	~~3. Set waypoint type as "final location"~~
	~~4. Check the box next to "OpenChecker"~~
	~~5. Set status of waypoint to "Hide this waypoint"~~
	~~6. click "Write waypoint"~~

	~~From now on your cache will show two additional items:~~		=== Limitations ===
			To avoid brute force attempts at finding a solution, a user may try to check coordinates at most '''10''' times in a '''60 min''' period of time.

	~~a) On~~ the ~~page with your cache description the section "OpenChecker" appears with link~~ to ~~Checking coords.~~		If you use up the available attempts, you have to wait until you can try again.
	~~b) On OpenChecker page your cache appears on the list~~.

	~~How to remove~~ cache ~~from~~ OpenChecker~~? To withdraw~~ coordinates ~~checking availability~~:		=== Using cache page ===
			* Open cache page
			* Scroll down below the description, see OpenChecker section
			* Press ''Check'' button
			* Enter your coordinates and press ''Check''
			Both on cache page and check result page you will see two counters: Attempts - ''how many times users tried to check a solution'' and Hits - ''how many times a correct solution has been verified.''

	~~1. Open cache edit panel~~		=== Using OpenChecker list ===
	~~2. Click edit~~ on ~~"Final Location"~~ in waypoint list		* Press ''OpenChecker'' button on User's menu (left side of page)
	~~3. uncheck the box next to "OpenChecker"~~		* Identify the cache in the list or enter waypoint in the searchbox just above the list.
			* Click on cache name
			* Enter your coordinates and press ''Check''

	~~From now your cache disappears from~~ OpenChecker list. ~~Also your~~ cache ~~description page~~ will ~~no longer feature~~ the OpenChecker ~~section~~.		=== Using OpenChecker waypoint search ===
			* Press ''OpenChecker'' button on User's menu (left side of page)
			* Enter waypoint in the searchbox just above the list. If the waypoint is valid for a cache with Openchecker, you will see the coordinates check form
			* Enter your coordinates and press ''Check''

Initial draft

New page

OpenChecker allow users to check coordinates of final cache for cache type "Quiz" (Puzzle), "Multicache" and "Other Type"

If you are the owner of a Quiz/Other type cache, you can give the chance to other users to check their calculated/obtained coordinates of the final location before they go out cache hunting.

How to add your cache to OpenChecker?

1. Open cache edit panel
2. Click add new waypoint
3. Set waypoint type as "final location"
4. Check the box next to "OpenChecker"
5. Set status of waypoint to "Hide this waypoint"
6. click "Write waypoint"

From now on your cache will show two additional items:

a) On the page with your cache description the section "OpenChecker" appears with link to Checking coords.
b) On OpenChecker page your cache appears on the list.

How to remove cache from OpenChecker? To withdraw coordinates checking availability:

1. Open cache edit panel
2. Click edit on "Final Location" in waypoint list
3. uncheck the box next to "OpenChecker"

From now your cache disappears from OpenChecker list. Also your cache description page will no longer feature the OpenChecker section.
