everybody can write everything in the wiki, but man_made=drinking_fountain is a low usage tag and drinking_fountain=yes is virtually unused (10 times globally), whoever wrote this didn’t research actual usage. Where is it written?

The standard tag for drinking fountains is amenity=drinking_water and it can be combined with man_made=water_tap as well as with fountain=drinking.
