The UK tagging guidelines have always advised against using the ref tag: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines although you'll notice from that there's still no overall agreement on exactly which other tag to use for unsigned references. I do believe this should have been discussed before the mechanical edit.
It was discussed back in '15. Some felt the two listed were specific enough with another option put forward, which I'm currently using. I indicated in my OP that that was up for discussion. Please start the ball rolling if you have objections to highway_authority_ref.
Point about OSM wiki: IMO giving multiple options for the same entity leads to confusion & errors so should be avoided.
