"each generator as empty role"

I believe that the consensus is for the relation role to be 'generator' - Jnicho02 (talk) 12:22, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jnicho02: What has drawn you to this conclusion? This would cause mappers to do extra work without any benefit.--Constantino (talk) 19:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

True, you could argue that a turbine with power:generator tag implicitly specifies the role. But where we have wind_farm relations with more types of things: access paths; substation; anemometer; radio mast; it becomes more useful and complete to specify explicitly. Also, looking at Cefn Croes 2924301 2924301 for example, you can see the members and roles without having to 'click through' to each related object. I am happy to change my initial comment to: I believe that the consensus in the UK is for the relation role to be 'generator' Jnicho02 (talk) 17:29, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jnicho02: I couldn't imagine that people would put more things than the actual turbines and the substation into a relation tagged as power plant [1]. Merry Christmas, BTW!--Constantino (talk) 10:34, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
