According to the wiki "map features" table, a "power=station" is "A tag for electricity stations. Wires from power lines come in or go out here."
Two questions: 1) Does everyone use it this way? Without having looked at the table, I would have guessed that a "power=station" was a power plant (ie, a coal, or gas or whatever plant that generates power), whereas that appears to be a "power=generator". 2) What is a "power station" exactly? I think I know the type of thing it's referring to (although I have, perhaps mistakenly, called these "sub stations" in the past). What does it do? Does it simply convert high voltage down to lower, consumer-level voltage? Hmm, then again, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_substation seems to use the term the way I understood it: ie, a roughly house-sized arrangement of electrical equipment, rather than cabinet-sized, as shown in the wiki page. I'll then update the wiki, adding definitions for the individual pages.
