I’m thinking “hiking_scale:awtgs=”.  This would have solved the problem of my well-meaning German friend deleting my tags.

Since it is an Australian tag, I would have thought adding it to the Australian Wiki would be sufficient.


No. Germans, French, English don't go looking for tags on every countries wiki. The documentation should go on the main OSM wiki so it can be found easily by anyone looking for it.

With regard to users applying a grade using this system, how about we use a “source:grade=” tag?  Maybe if the AWTGS grade  has been sign-posted by the trail manager (whoever that might be), it could be “source:grade=as_signed”??  If a grade has been assigned by a user, “source:grade=user” ??


If sources are state/suggested on the OSM wiki that would also assist mappers trying to enter the data.
