I also thought about a waymarker who was very active in the "Municipal Parks and Plazas" category. I can't remember his name.

Can someone explain to me what is a Signal’s Labyrinth item?
"...What are the special bonus items that are revealed by logging geocaches, and how can I find them?
Each of the six labyrinths has a special bonus item associated with it that will help Signal move through that maze. For example, the item for the first labyrinth, the enchanted forest, is a glowing firefly that helps brighten the path for Signal to escape. There is no way to specifically search for these hidden items, but every time you log a geocache, you will have a chance of finding one. When you do find one and you log your find in the app, you will see a banner message in the app, similar to the message that appears when you earn a souvenir. These items award bonus leaderboard points that add on to the points you earn for logging the geocache..." Source

I haven't created many categories, but nevertheless I'm willing to help. The first step would be to ask the leader of the "Self Guided Walks and Trails" category (personally), if he would allow barefoot walks in his category. The description says: "Self Guided Nature Trails and Historic Walks are the main focus of this Category, but there may be some leniency as long as the basic principle of "Self Guided" is followed.", but it also says "In general though, the Self Guided Trail or Walk should be educational.". If he will not allow them there:
I would ask for some feedback from other WMers from different countries/continents. How prevelant are these in your area? Are there any suggestions what would also fit in this category, that we haven't thought about?
"...Self Guided Walks and Trails come in many shapes and sizes. There purpose is usually to convey some knowledge, either in the form of interpretive signs or brochures that accompany a numbered path..."
In my opinion barefoot paths don't fit well in the "Self Guided Walks and Trails" category.

...Are there enough of them to qualify for a new category? And the second question is: How permanent are they? They are quite easy to create, but as easy to be removed...
All barefoot walks/trails I know are permanent and well maintained. Problem at the moment, I have no time to create a new category. Maybe someone else?
Here is one in Bad Reichenhall
The following pictures were taken in Bayrischzell:

Maybe, thanks for your thoughts! I'm moving over to Recruiting and Category Proposals.

Where do I put my barefoot trail/path/walk? I have some more here in my area. Thanks!

Congratulations!

The focus in the new category "Funerary Art" lies on special art on tombs/graves, not just figurative sculptures. So this is not solved if we allow just sculptures on tombs in the Figurative Public Sculpture category. This has nothing to do with collecting a new icon.
-
I would prefer a new category. Mixing them together isn't a good idea in my opinion. Figurative Public Sculptures have now almost 10.000+ sculptures and we will get many many from cemeteries. It's a difference if they are located on a cemetery or in the "normal" public ground, but I'm open for a discussion.

@NW_history_buff is the leader. He has to start the vote.

What about peer review?

As is explain in the category only the entries on the "Catalogo generale dei Beni Culturali" are accepted. It would be the opposite of the goal of the creation of the Catalog if was accepted .
Have fun, I will not contribute. Wonderful structures/buildings listed in a second great database (maybe some more) are not accepted? Fine tuning is possible all the time!

Not sure if you answered my question already. Will you accept all records from the map (see link), even if these are not included (at the moment) in the "Catalogo generale dei Beni Culturali"?

There is no problem in the data base and it's not strange, the national government made a law to the creation of the "Catalogo generale dei Beni Culturali" that was created an is being implemented, in some regions the process is more advanced than others witch is normal. But I think that now with more than 77000 entries is a lot of locations to waymark.
"The data currently present in the General Catalog of Cultural Heritage are provided by SIGECweb - General Catalog Information System, created with the aim of unifying and optimizing the processes associated with the cataloging of cultural heritage, ensuring the quality of the data produced and their compliance with national standards; the homogeneity of information is, in fact, the indispensable prerequisite for their immediate availability, correct use and sharing. In the coming months, the general catalog of cultural heritage will also include the data produced and collected by the regional documentation centers, which are currently managed and enhanced at the territorial level starting from those published in open format."
Translated from the Catalogo generale dei Beni Culturali page.
I'm not a crossposter at the moment so I waymarked this castle as castle Castello di Castellano - Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy - Castles on Waymarking.com . But it doesn't feel right that I couldn't submit it to the Italien Heritage site because it's not listed in the catalogo which is the only source you accept.
