One comment I will make on the tagging wiki page is that I think in the vast majority of cases, one can assume that a yellow arrow without the text "public footpath" *is* indeed a public footpath. There might be a few cases where there's a yellow-colour-coded nature trail in a country park, but these are in a minority. Certainly in open farmland, moorland, etc yellow arrows are almost certain to be footpaths (and blue, bridleways).
I have used the designation tag in these cases many, many times. I think it's better to make the assumption than have an incomplete map where many designation tags are missing. If it's then later discovered *not* to be a right of way, the designation tag can always be removed.

You can also use this if it is on the ground AND signposted as such. For other paths you can use suspected:designation=public_footpath or suspected:designation=row, and we will aim to get these followed up before 2026.
