I am getting the whale shark when I try to add a check list: [https://www.inaturalist.org/check\_lists/new?place\_id=tokai-park-wc-za](https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/new?place_id=tokai-park-wc-za) [https://www.inaturalist.org/check\_lists/new?place\_id=cape-peninsula](https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/new?place_id=cape-peninsula) existing checklists behave OK, I just cannot create a new one … ---

Yep, I’m getting the same error when I click the “Create new check list for Cape Peninsula” at the bottom right here: [https://www.inaturalist.org/check\_lists/896441-Cape-Peninsula-Check-List](https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/896441-Cape-Peninsula-Check-List) ---

How was this place created? Are checklists allowed? ---

I don’t know how it was created, but the box is checked to allow check lists, and some were created for it in the past. ---

I created this place [https://www.inaturalist.org/check\_lists/2726865-Enschede---Lonnekerberg-Check-List](https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/2726865-Enschede---Lonnekerberg-Check-List) recently and I checked the checkbox to allow checklists. This place is rather small (not as big as Texas) so I expect I should be able to create new checklists, but it does not work :-( Also [https://www.inaturalist.org/check\_lists/2667334-Enschede---Hof-Espelo-Check-List](https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/2667334-Enschede---Hof-Espelo-Check-List) ---

> [@optilete](#): > > How was this place created? Are checklists allowed? If checklists are not allowed, it should tell me, not eat iNaturalist … I should have tried more, but I just did two (another one at random) and I am therefore assuming that it is across the board … I have now checked three other places and it does appear to be for any place (for me anyway). I just want to add a list of trees for the Cape Peninsula to use as a guide … ---

I created checklists for this place [https://www.inaturalist.org/check\_lists/7862-Netherlands-Check-List](https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/7862-Netherlands-Check-List) but it is not allowed any more. I think you are right and it is accross the board… ---
