I agree it's confusing. On one reading of the wiki man_made=water _tap with amenity=drinking_water would mean the exact 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 this https://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.
