The table with the tagging scheme for the hiking/foot routes is getting there: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_scheme_hiking_walking Just a few more small things that need to be decided on.
In the mean time, I have copy and pasted the sentences that surrounded the tagging scheme on the four different pages (Hiking, route=hiking, route=foot and Walking routes) and try to merge them. It was easier than I thought, as the text was actually already 95% the same. The proposed version of the text is added underneath here. I have almost not changed anything to the current text. But I have already added three of my own remarks, between brackets [*] More feedback is welcome. --- start of proposed text --- Foot and hiking routes are named or numbered or otherwise signed walking routes. [1] A route is a customary or regular line of travel, often pre-determined and publicised. It consist of paths taken repeatedly by various people. A foot route is generally a shorter, easier route, a hiking route is generally longer and/or more strenuous. [2] To tag a walking/hiking route you create a relation with the appropriate tags and add all elements (points and ways) [3] of the hiking route to this relation. [4] [1] [make it more clear that the walking route has to be signed in order to map it. As it is stated now, you could read it that a named hiking route is sufficient to be mapped] [2] [Is is necesary to make the distinction here, as it's better explained in the table?] [3] [what "points" are to be added? I would say none, only add ways, remove the word "points"] [4] [ I would like to add this sentence: "If possible, sort the ways in a logical order"] --- end of proposed text --- On Tue, 13 Aug 2019 10:50:16 +0200 (CEST), "s8evq" <s8...@runbox.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > On the discussion page of the wiki entry Hiking > (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Hiking#Synchronize_wiki_page_Hiking.2C_Walking_Routes.2C_route.3Dhiking_and_route.3Dfoot_on_tagging_scheme.) > I have started a topic, but with little response so far.
