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.

Hi everyone!
Has anyone tried to observer how different wikipedias use the
templates: how often, what's the average depth of template calls, etc?
What for? This is like asking "has anyone tried to observe how different
Wikipedias are written"...
