Hi all, Just to drag this back up - I encountered an unmapped showground (Chipping, Lancashire) whilst adding PROWs and don't know the best way to tag. It appears to hold a several large shows each year (well presumably not this year!) but doesn't appear to be a recreational site. I found

Hi, Just to continue with the theme of rights of way mapping, I've been noticing that there are still large tracts of England and Wales away from the 'honeypot' areas with little or now ROW mapping at all meaning there's still quite a big job to be done. As you may remember I have been

By all means create a UK-specific page to document discussions, show differences to the rest of the world, and/or state how we do things round these parts. The naming convention is "[Primary subject] in the United Kingdom", as in "Showgrounds in the United Kingdom". On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 12:30

Not sure about the tagging/proposal politics but since there are a small number of showgrounds, is there anything to stop a UK-specific page being set up on the Wiki for visibility? Then if anyone wants to harmonise the tags they can use that as a guide to do so. There's nothing to say we can't
