<p>Hi Tony, Ian</p>
<p>The Bush Walking and Cycling Tracks section has not changed in some time. I added the {{Controversial}} template following the extensive discussions around the time I started cleaning up the wiki pages (<a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2022-February/015886.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2022-February/015886.html</a>) to indicate that the section is still very much in discussion.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>The template includes a link to the talk page for the wiki page, which cannot be removed. The archives for that page are accessible via the link in the top right (Talk:Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Archive_1).</p>
<div id="signature"></div>
<p><br /></p>
<p>I hope this helps. This section is definitely going to be the most disputed of the guideline subpages!</p>
<p>Dian</p>
<p><br /></p>
