[talk-au] How do I tag a road that's also a major walking trail?

[John Henderson]

I'm wanting to reopen this discussion.

The context is long-distance walking tracks, and avoiding duplication of
the relations covering them (as bits and pieces get added in different
geographical areas).

I've found a very useful renderer at http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html

The two routes I've started show here:

http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html?zoom=10&lat=-35.08253&lon=149.03117

(I'm still playing with the osmc:symbol tag).

The Heysen Trail in South Australia is the third major route showing.

124080	Heysen Trail
176684	Bicentennial National Trail
308594	Hume and Hovell Walking Track

I've just set myself up with a login to the OSM wiki.  Should I simply
refer to the above relation IDs and names in the wiki under "Bush 
Walking and Cycling Tracks"?
