here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p><font face="Verdana">They tagged the chapel of course as a
religious item. The way_shrines with way_shrine and as
historic, the path has duplicate use, it's part of a hiking
network and it has a religious meaning. It's used every year to
have a mass when they walk along the path past the shrines. But
primarily it is a hiking path. Does the same apply to the paths
you refer to Anne ?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">You can make another route relation to
include it in a hiking network etc... without preferring any
specific use on the path itself. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">You can always use a site relation to link
the church, the well, the path or whatever other items and tag
the relation with amenity=place_of_worship.</font><br>

<div>We know you are strongly voicing this strict meaning of
"historic" every now and then (and someone followed suite and
changed the wiki accordingly), but for OSM tags, I would not
expect it to have much bearing. Things tagged with "historic"
are as much historic as "amenity" is about amenities. Many
are, many are not. Historic as a main tag is just a container
for things which are often historic in the strict sense, but
if they are not, we do not (did not until now at least) refuse
the tag for them. Any wayside cross is tagged with the
"historic" key, not just those that are of exceptional
significance. We do (did) not make this distinction. </div>
