[OSM-talk-be] GR en hiking

[Ivo De Broeck]

If foot is not depreciated, why has foot another color in de OSM wiki, like
on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Route#Walking_routes_.28also_hiking_and_pilgrimage.29and
all other pages? Why will Potlach preset are always hiking?

I think is not a good idea to use 2 possible tags, because its confusing.

" It is more widely used and would put us in line with the international
wiki. " I think is the mean reason to change.
