<p>Given that the Wiki is editable by all, the biggest difference
between citing a user page and a wiki page is that the wiki
_should_ be subject to a bit more scrutiny. There would be
nothing to stop you copy-pasting the content of that page into the
wiki wholesale, not that I'm suggesting it would be a good idea to
do so. BTW <br>

<p>I also have an interest off-road riding, though powered by my
legs rather than petrol (it looks fun with an engine, especially
over some of the muddy BOATs in Wilts, but I've never tried it).
Obviously that gives me access to a wider range of ways, but I've
had issues due to mistagging in the past. <br>
</p>

<p>These routes are definitely tricky to pin down. I looked into
this last year, prompted by

I see a certain Russ McD has recently sorted the tags on that, so
you've clearly made more progress than me (and quite possibly more
than the OS with their vague label of ORPA. So the tagging is one
issue, the data sourcing another; unlike many off-road PRoWs,
signs on the ground are usually of limited help.<br>

<div>As a Trail Rider, I feel it's important to
differentiate tracks & paths that are UCR's, over the
common or garden other unsurfaced rural ways that are
generally private. I'm sure you are all aware of the
contentious legality of these, but this question is about
tagging....</div>

<div>Using Richard's <a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Rjw62/PRoW_Tagging</a> as
a guide, I have been using the tag <b>designation=unclassifed_highway</b>.
Another user has stated in a changeset comment, that this is
just a personal page, and I should refer to <a

<div>Easy to criticise, but the latter, is not specific in any
way, when it comes to UCR's. Damned if I do , damned if I
don't, maybe ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm happy to follow convention, notwithstanding the fact
that taginfo shows over 3,500 occurences of the above, but
right now, for a UCR, if what I'm doing is wrong, then
what's right? </div>
<div>Can I ask if this is the right arena to get the guidance
RoW Wiki updated?</div>
