Hi,
Decent documentation is certainly useful, but some remarks:
- Everywhere else on that page route=foot is mentioned in the tagging examples.
I don't care whether foot or hiking is chosen, but it should be everywhere the
same.
- ref: If a hiking route has a reference number 33 on the official map and on
the official website, my opinion is that that number should be chosen as
reference, not some number in that inventaire of the Commissariat général au
Tourisme. Another example is Saint-Ode which uses references A1 - A7 etc. which
are again much more useful than the numbers on the inventaire. And for some
communties/SI's the hiking routes in the inventaire have no name, so it's
impossible to know which hiking route one finds on the field or on the map has
which number in the inventaire.
- name: I prefer to use a name as a name, not a combination of reference and
name, or a combination of reference and community and name.
- wikiloc: The first line on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Walking_Routes
says: "Mapping of walking and/or biking routes must be restricted to routes
signposted by an official tourism agency that is assigning the node
numbers, if any, and writing them to the signs". So, apparently personal hiking
routes which are not signposted shouldn't be added to OSM...
- osmc:symbol: perhaps you could refer to
http://www.waymarkedtrails.org/en/help/rendering/osmc?
- colour=* could also be a useful tag
Regards,
StijnRR

What's Wikiloc, and why would it need to be in the ref tag? Are these wikiloc
routes signed at all?
route=foot or route=hiking is virtually the same, I wouldn't worry
about it,
there's
probably a big discussion about it somewhere in the talk mailing list
archives.
