Power armor is by definition a powered exoskeleton; specifically one that allows bearing the weight of armor added to it. It doesn’t stop being one just because armor was added, and in fact that will be done the moment we have exoskeletons independent and strong enough for it.
 
Thusly, I propose:  
Decide on a tag for unarmored exoskeletons, I suggest using “exosuit”.  
Have power armor imply powered exoskeleton  
Add the following description to “power armor”:  
_A worn powered armored exoskeleton. For non-armored exoskeletons see [decided tag]. For piloted exoskeletons, see mecha  
Add the following description to “powered exoskeleton”:  
A worn powered exoskeleton, with or without armor. Insects don’t count.  
Add the following description to [decided tag]:  
_A worn powered unarmored exoskeleton, such as ones used for regaining mobility or strength assistance. For armored ones see power armor  
Add the following description to mecha:  
_A robot or exoskeleton piloted from inside that is too large to be worn by the user. For ones that can be worn and controlled directly by the pilot’s motions, see powered exoskeleton

Careful, you might have just incurred Zeb’s wrath. He had a lengthy topic on the whole power armor aliases a year ago. Though it does look like Powered Exoskeleton needs clean up if Zeb’s distinction still applies.

His lengthy topic is wrong, because power armor is by definition a powered exoskeleton (it’s a support structure that is outside you and powered, and is what enables it to have armor in the first place). Judging from the topic he wants to be able to search for the strictly unarmored exoskeletons, for which a new tag is necessary because they’re an incredibly niche case, compared to the amount of armored ones.
 
Also going by amount and kinds of images tagged “powered exoskeleton”, the cleanup wasn’t done or people don’t care about the erroneous definition.

Notoriously Divine Tagger - Consistently uploads images above and beyond the minimum tag requirements. And/or additionally, bringing over the original description from the source if the image has one. Does NOT apply to the uploader adding several to a dozen tags after originally uploading with minimum to bare tagging.

On a serious note, yes power armor should imply powered exoskeleton, the rest seems a bit much.
