Windmills only transfer power downward, through the center tile. You can't get power from the sides.

The wiki is notoriously inaccurate on subjects at the cutting edge, frequently reflecting passing memes, folklore, or the word on the street instead of true dwarven science.

As a beginner, do check out the wiki, particularly http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Windmill and http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Machinery for your specific query.
