Nice, Anders. You can use taginfo to get "the raw numbers" (quantity) of a particular kind of tagging. What might work specifically for you in this case is to use some well-crafted Overpass Turbo queries (over a specific area at first, you can use the "bbox" method of "what you see on-screen" or you can use the "geocodeArea" directive to restrict the query to a named place). OT querying takes some practice to become skilled in its vast power to query OSM data, but it is worth investing in the learning curve to do this, as it is likely (imo) the most powerful tool we have to ask our data "what about this, like this?"
Usually, our wiki describe "tagging as is," what is known as "descriptive." On occasion, some wiki will be "prescriptive," meaning "here is how one SHOULD tag, though I make a point to say that any wiki which does that should say so explicitly. Good luck in your endeavors!
