Tobias, thank you for clarification. The lang parameter was very often incorrect because people copy/pasted it without changing. I did a minor clean up with a manual inspection of every edit - similar to many of my previous edits (by "yurik" account), but with the bot+minor flag to avoid exactly the problem that Christoph outlined - to reduce spam in the watchlist and recentchanges. Note that the only way you would get a notification is if you have "Email me also for minor edits of pages and files" checked on your user preferences page (disabled by default).
The goal of the project [1] is to organize key and tag documentation - make it available to other systems in a machine readable format, allow JOSM and iD to get that data directly, and allow users to contribute key/tag/rel descriptions without the need to create wiki pages (or to even know what wiki markup is or how to create a template with parameters). Lastly, this project will highlight accidental (but numerous) mismatches between languages -- wiki pages in different languages very often show different mismatched information in the sidebox (e.g. if it is ok to use on a node/way/rel, or status). Some cases are warranted, but the vast majority are simply stale translations. Eventually the hope is to remove all parameters from the wiki pages, and just have a {{TagDescription}} without any parameters to show an infobox. It will also allow wiki to avoid tables of values with duplicated information. [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_items
