[talk-au] Australian Tagging Guidelines Footpath Cycling

[Dian Ågesson]

Hi Tony, Ian

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 
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2022-February/015886.html) 
to indicate that the section is still very much in discussion.

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).

I hope this helps. This section is definitely going to be the most 
disputed of the guideline subpages!
