You've recently changed the wiki to suggest that sidewalk=sidepath is valid:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:sidewalk&diff=next&oldid=1523440

taginfo suggests that almost no-one uses it, so I don't think that this 
is a sensible wiki change:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/sidewalk=sidepath

The wiki is at its best when it describes how people map, not when 
people who have not mapped a thing tell other people how to map things.

Best Regards,
