Re: [Tagging] wheelchair = hiking

This is a good point and should be the preferred way. For your purpose you should use

highway=path
wheelchair=designated

.

This tells mappers and other users of OSM data that the highway is a path https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath and designated for wheelchair users https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wheelchair

Is there any reason not to use the existing wheelchair=yes|no|limited|designated tags?  If you add
wheelchair=yes to a hiking trail it is implicit that it is for hiking in a wheelchair.   A problem with
adding wheelchair=hiking is that people may then misapply it (because it would be available in
editor drop-downs) to other ways where wheelchair=yes ought to be used.
