It is very powerful but can be a bit tricky; the hard part is making all of the calls properly and handling the output well. What you don't have to do is set it up for every user on the wiki individually. Since you are viewing these usertags on a user's profile, you already know which user to query the API for, so it's just a matter of returning the edit count for that particular user.

Making some sense, I hope? :) Everything made sense except the MediaWiki API thing haha. So I don't have to set it up for every user individually (awesome !) but what queries am I making and where am I making the query from ? Is the MediaWiki API its own individual page or is it part of another page ?
