This year the bicycle=use_sidepath was accepeted. After the vote I made a wiki page <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Duse_sidepath>. I've just noticed that the page was changed in such a way that it also changes the definition. The tag can only be applied in counties that have compulsary cycleways. I've seen that a sentence was changed now saying "You can use this tag where a road has a parallel compulsory *or designated *cycleway " (I've changed that back) . There is also a section added <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Duse_sidepath#Usage_in_cities> that I'm not happy with. It now seems that this tag should be used if the mapper thinks it is safer for cyclist to take the cycleway instead of the main road. (Do Spain and Great Britain have compulsory cycleways?)
Sure I could send an email to the person that changed this but what do you think is the best way to deal with this changing wiki pages? Or should I just accept that these things happen and change it back and send an email? Cheers PeeWee32
