I am sorry - OSM terminology can be somewhat ambigous here.  With tag 
definition i mean the definition of the meaning of a certain tag, i.e. 
what it is supposed to mean when an OSM feature has the tag wikidata=x.  
This should be documented on the OSM wiki in a way that reflects actual 
mapping practice and which is verifiable for mappers.

With 'wikidata values' i was referring to the actual values that exist 
for the wikidata key in our database.

I considered that a rhetorical question.  Taginfo gives you usage 
statistics for the values used:
