[Tagging] What does bicycle=no on a node means?

>> This      recent wiki change by >> Emvee <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Emvee>>>  is in my view not helpful, or      even misleading, as it does discourage a wide-spread tagging      practice (if we like this or not is a different question, but it's      established tagging, and the wiki is supposed to describe the      establsihed methods of tagging)

No, you changed documented meaning of tagging scheme in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Ahighway%3Dcrossing&type=revision&diff=2043653&oldid=2025128

OSM Wiki is not describing only tagging that is supported.

Note that it is fine to describe tagging as problematic, unsupported and having a better alternative.

Any tagging scheme is for some period unsupported, this does not make it useless.

And any widely used tagging scheme can be described. As obvious from this discussion meaning
of this bicycle=no is clear so I will revert your edits on this page

Not in cases where 
(1) highway=cycleway is crossing road where cyclists are obligated to dismount
(2) highway=footway with bicycle=yes/designated is crossing road where cyclists
are obligated to dismount
(3)pedestrian only crossing is tagged on road having cycleway on both sides 
(tagged as cycleway:lef/cycleway:right/cycleway:both) 
(or where such road has cycleway at one side, is joined by separately mapped 
cycleway from other side and there is crossing there, but
cyclists must dismount)
