Mapping mile markers and other POI on trails (self.openstreetmap)

I've found a couple tutorials on how to add different POI to trails, some show adding a point in the map editor, others a waypoint on a gpx log. What is the current method? Do I just a dd a point, can I add a point on an existing trail?

I think you've mis-tagged that and it should be highway=milestone.

Thats what I wasn't sure on. I found some pages saying highway but other saying path. Was trying to figure out whats the most current.

I'm no expert but it's what I'd go for!

I changed one set, example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11069075745 I tried to view at work and it wasn't working but it does when I got home, but we have a broken OS at work anyway so it could just be a issue with that.
