> There is a tag man_made=desalination_plant with its own wiki page[1] and with 11 occurrences [2]. Then there is man_made=water_works + water_works=desalination of which there is no wiki page, and 33 occurrences[3]. In the end, we have a proposal that proposes waterworks=desalination_plant[4] (waterworks with no underline) with 0 occurrences. There is also a man_made=water_works wiki which doesn't say anything about water_works=* subtags [5].

Given that one tag is used 11 times and another 33 times: it is too early to 
consider usage count as significant indicator.

I would rather check how many users used each tag and whether someone retagged 
some tag to another.

You can easily check every single object tagged with either (at most 44 of them) and
their history.
