We can use a medium solution and introduce these values for voltage: voltage=low, voltage=medium, voltage=high. Those can than be shown on a map as an error (like fixme=*), and mappers will have to put real voltage instead of these. > Think we aswell need a tag for power plants as I often have problems to > tag the > power=generator on big power plants and some even have more than one.

Problem is that power plants often have many parts, especially hydro power plants (landuse=reservoir, man_made=pipeline, power=sub_station, power=generator, numerous other buildings). Which ones are contained in the power=generator area? We should make a better wiki page for those.

We could add the tag power=substation to the wiki and patiently wait for mappers to adopt it. And in a few years, we could do to power=sub_station what we are doing now to power=station :) Janko Mihelić
