Personally, I don't think the wiki for a well established tag should be changed in such a significant way without discussion and voting. This is because I would oppose changing the access tag away from the legal access rights. I think if we want to describe something subjective like what vehicles may or may not fit, that should be put in a new proposal for a new tag. Best regards, Dom
