I'm thinking "hiking_scale:awtgs=".  This would have solved the problem of
my well-meaning German friend deleting my tags.

 

Since it is an Australian tag, I would have thought adding it to the
Australian Wiki would be sufficient. 

 

With regard to users applying a grade using this system, how about we use a
"source:grade=" tag?  Maybe if the AWTGS grade  has been sign-posted by the
trail manager (whoever that might be), it could be
"source:grade=as_signed"??  If a grade has been assigned by a user,
"source:grade=user" ??
