Space Stations and bases aren't really space stations or bases, they are Fairings, fuel tanks, and interstages.
To start this again, but real space stations are also fuel tanks and have interstages and made of the same stuff as fairings.

A space / base station / submarine isn't the sum of its parts, it's the place it is used.

For a submarine to be a submarine, it has to be used sub, marine. Underwater. Unless it does goes underwater and is able to surface under its own volition, it's not a submarine, regardless of shape, intention or material of manufacture.

A base station is a ground installation used as a base of operations. You can make it out of Lego and it'd still be a base station, as long as it's used as a base of operations.

Same with a space station. It doesn't matter what it is made of. It is a way-station, in space.
A Space. Station.

Skylab was a fuel tank...

Salyut, Almaz, MIR, ISS and Tiangong are NOT fuel tanks...

I'm not starting this debate again.

Horus has a point though. A submarine is defined by where it operates, not what it is made of. If I take two bathtubs, join them and hermetize them and attach a water propeller, and make it go underwater it will be a submarine, although it doesn't have living quarters and is powered by hand. If I take a submarine and remove the propeller, switch ballast tanks for fuel tanks and slap some rocket engines on it, It won't be a submarine. But your right, space stations usually aren't made of fairings, interstages and fuel tanks, as the first two aren't pressurised and probably don't meet the safety conditions. They may have some design solutions taken from fuel tanks, but they are not fuel tanks.

I think wet workshop is best for convertin a once actived stage into habitable module if u want to cut cost and just add somethin to it so it will be usable but needed to purged the remainin fuel.... Or I'm missin somethin here...

Nah you need to leave the fuel in the tank. Gives the astronauts something to drink.

Lox and some LH² no need to purge but to make more water so they dont need to haul up H2O all the way to orbit...
That makes more sense...
