But it is widely used (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=diaper#keys) and the only key I know for the purpose of tagging changing tables. I also discovered that my suggestion `diaper:wheelchair` is already in use (but not documented yet).

I agree with you! I also wondered about this but I accepted `diaper` for this purpose. So what do you suggest? Replacing the key `diaper` with `changing_table` without or with the consens of the others of the community would hurt apps like AndOSM and other platforms working with the `diaper` key e.g. Babykarte.

guided me to you. I have the following situation: I want to tag a
changing table but this changing table is in the toilet room for
wheelchair users. The page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:d
iaper states tagging for changing tables is just available in toilets
for women,-men and unisex but not in toilets for wheelchair users.

At first glance I thought you wanted to tag places where people in wheelchairs
could change their own diapers.  Then I checked with the wiki page and
realized what you mean.

And then I realized diaper=* is not a good idea for a key.  In British English we call
them nappies (singular nappy), not diapers.   And what the toilet has is not a supply
of nappies (diapers) but a CHANGING TABLE.  Which is what you described it as,
because that's what it is.  And had the key been nappy_changing_table instead of diaper
I wouldn't have (briefly) misunderstood what you wanted to tag (a changing table in
a toilet for wheelchair users, not a place where wheelchair users can change their
own nappy).

+1 ... change table!

Wheelies (wheelchair users) also use catheters with bags. Much easier to deal with compared to a diaper.
