I changed text on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dindustrial

to

"Industrial sites involved in power generation may be additionally tagged 
(on the same or separate object) with power=* tags like power=plant."

Edits done in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Alanduse%3Dindustrial&type=revision&diff=2168552&oldid=2157778

it is mostly revert of 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:landuse%3Dindustrial&diff=next&oldid=1692797
that reverted of my old edit
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:landuse%3Dindustrial&diff=prev&oldid=1692797

Jun 16, 2021, 12:53 by tagging at openstreetmap.org:

> Many/most cases of power generation seems clearly industrial to me.
>
> At least for features like > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Currant_Creek_Power_Plant.jpg
> - distributed wind turbines can be tricky to tag as an area and some
> solar plants will not qualify as industrial area, even if generating large amount of power.
>
> "generally not considered industrial" seems wrong for power generation areas,
> above 70% of power generation is coal, gas, nuclear and other cases where
> production facility is clearly industrial.
>
> power=plant or power=substation IMHO will be typically either in
> landuse=industrial or can be tagged also with landuse=industrial

> Though I would not describe it as necessary.

>> Hello
>>
>> The wiki for the tag landuse=industrial says that "Power generation and transmission is generally not considered industrial. Use the more specific power=* tags like power=plant or power=substation for this task."
>>
>> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dindustrial
>>
>> But it is in the recommended tags section of the wiki for the tag power=plant as strongly recommended.
>>
>> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Apower%3Dplant
>>
>> These pages should be consistent.>>  >> Do you think it is necessary or not to add landuse = industrial to power = plant?
