[talk-au] OSM Wiki Cleanup Update: 6th Tagging Guidelines Page ready

[Kim Oldfield]

Hi Dian,

The AWTGS page referenced isn't much use. As a trail user it doesn't 
tell me if 1 is easy or hard.

Searching for other references I found
https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/safety/bushwalking-safety/australian-walking-track-grading-system
https://naturetrail.com.au/australian-walking-track-grading-system/
https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-to-do/hiking-and-bushwalking/choose-the-right-hike/how-walking-tracks-are-rated

all of which use almost identical descriptions and symbols for grades 1 
to 5. Does anyone know what the source for this is, and if we are 
allowed to include the descriptions verbatim in wiki.osm?

Is Pump track missing a key=value pair in the Value column? 
bicycle=designated by its self doesn't imply pump track.

The "Bike Lanes and Street Cycling" section is vague. What does "map 
according to what is on the ground, rather than relying on technical, 
legal definitions" mean? Isn't what is signposted on the ground what the 
legal definition is? Given that many signposted bike lanes and trails in 
Australia are not fit for purpose (eg they have parked cars in them or 
cyclist dismount signs) I don't know how they can be tagged in a 
consistent and useful manner.

The rest of the page looks good.
