It already says this:
"Some highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=track
are used for various leisure activities - hiking, cycling, or as
jeep/ATV trails. "
on the track wiki. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack
I propose changing the path page from this:
"If a path is wide enough for 4-wheel-vehicles (wider than 2 m), and it
is not legally signposted or otherwise only allowed for pedestrians,
cyclists or horseriders, it is often better tagged as a highway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=track
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack> or highway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=service
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice>. "
to this:
"If a path is wide enough for 4-wheel-vehicles (wider than 2 m), it is
often better tagged as a highway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=track
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack> or highway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=service
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice>. "
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath
To clarify, we could change the track page from this:
"This tag <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag> represents roads for
mostly agricultural use, forest tracks etc.; often unpaved (unsealed)
but may apply to paved tracks as well, that are suitable for /two/-track
vehicles, such as tractors or jeeps."
to this:
"This tag <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag> represents roads for
agricultural use, forest tracks, *recreation*, etc.; often unpaved
(unsealed) but may apply to paved tracks as well, that are suitable for
/two/-track vehicles, such as tractors or jeeps. "

This is just the opposite advice I got on this list about a similar
situation a couple of weeks ago. As a community we need to have some
consistency. There is another user (other than I or cosmocatalano)
who is going around making the exact opposite changes as
cosmocatalano. If the community agrees with you and cosmocatalano, I
will map accordingly and make changes in my local area along those
lines, but I don't want to have the same conversation here two weeks
from now.

I know we have had this discussion before, but perhaps some of
you that are more elegant (and diplomatic) can comment on:

These ways exist only to provide recreation to those on foot,
bicycle or horseback. One will occasionally see a park
maintenance vehicle, such as a side by side ATV (I don't think
one could even get a regular four wheeled vehicle back
there.), but the public is not allowed to operate motor
vehicles on these ways.
