I know we have already been discussing this several times in the past, but
due to recent editing disagreements in the wiki, I am raising it again.

For several years, we had railway=station on a way documented in the wiki
as the complete area of a train station.

This was also discussed in the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:railway%3Dstation#Station_an_area_.3F

And it is what we do around here locally. It is also what the definition of
railway=stations says, the tag defines "A railway station".

A fellow editor now insists that this tag should be used on the same area
as defined for public_transport=station, i.e. the part of the train station
that is accessible by passengers (platforms and buildings near the
platforms).

I am reaching out to the wider community because the user and me could not
come to an agreement.
