If it's signposted or we have compatible data for officially assigned classifications you use a new tag like awtgs=1-5. It would be a good idea to document this tag if used on the wiki so that others can understand how to apply it and use it.
We would need to decide if it should only be tagged for officially assigned classifications, or if every track we can assign a classification and tag that. I'm leaning towards only tagging those officially assigned. Personally I'm not a fan of the grading system, but it does exist and so you can tag it. The grading system (per descibed at https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/safety/bushwalking-safety/australian-walking-track-grading-system) is comprised of a few independent variables, like - steepness (which data consumers can determine via external terrain data) - length (can be calculated) - surface (could be covered by the surface=* tag, smoothness=* tag, and highway=steps) We already have in use and documented tags in OSM for: 1. trail_visibility=*, which as currently documented covers both how well signposted a route is and how visible/easy to follow the path is 2. sac_scale=* which is kind of tagging the technical difficulty (eg. do you need to use your hands and arms to climb up the track, is it highly exposed on cliff edges etc.) Then we also have existing tags trailblazed=* and information=guidepost/route_marker. I try to map all these specific variables and elements which provides richer data, but I would also support including officially assigned AWTGS via awtgs=*.
