My comments were: I agree it's confusing. On one reading of the wiki man_made=water _tap with amenity=drinking_water would mean the exactly the same as man_made=water_tap + drinking_water=yes. On the other hand I think amenity=drinking_water should be reserved for things primarily intended for direct water consumption, like a bubler or fountain or roman style fountain like thishttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Nasona_a_via_annia_faustina_2.JPG. A tap in the garden is intended to water the plans, not to drink straight out of (even though physically it's very similar to that roman fountain) so shouldn't have amenity=drinking_water, it should be man_made=water_tap + drinking_water=yes. So the function of a water tap is primarily to attach a hose to, whereas amenity=drinking_water is primarily to drink directly from the steam of water. But this isn't really well documented on the wiki.
