If you want to look at the current status of template usage, you could
compare the templatelinks tables between wikis.  Do you have a specific
question in mind?

If you are hoping to look at historical trends, I'd be interested in
helping you generate a dataset from the XML dumps.  I've been working on a
library[1] that provides a nice, iterable, pythonic strategy for processing
dumps that would let you do some parsing to extract templates.  You'd need
to write an island grammar[2] to do that accurately.  I've done that a few
times to serve different needs, so I should be able to help with that too.
