Pumped-storage power station?
editIs it Pumped-storage power station? Because this is what the infobox says; however, there is no mentioning pumped-storage in the body text. There is a field called 'pumps' but it says 'Fuji Francis turbine' which is a turbine, not a pump. If it is not pumped-storage power station, it should use the {{Infobox dam}} instead of. The documentation of the the {{Infobox power station}} says: For hydroelectric power stations involving dams (except tidal facilities), please use {{Infobox dam}}.

- John Butters had a 7 km long tunnel made, one of the largest drilling programs of its sort at the time in Tasmania through mount jukes from the level of the crotty dam, and it descended to the turbine. There is nothing anywhere suggesting that there was a pump storage system on the King River power scheme JarrahTree 15:19, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

- Sorry it took so long for me to see this one. Some pumped-storage stations have an infobox dam, like Grand'Maison Dam. It is usually cases when the dam is the most notable part of the system and subsequently, the upper or lower reservoir (whichever the subject dam creates), is substantially larger than its opposite. In systems when the dams and reservoirs are similar sizes, infobox power station tends to apply. I see that opinion doesn't matter much more though...--NortyNort (Holla) 01:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
