<p dir="auto">Its been a while since the decision to hide the edit button was made an I think we should change it now. My main reasons are…</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>the edit button is part of the core story of the website. Just hiding is not the right thing to do to tell this story.</li>
<li>iD editor is usable on todays mobile phones, so there is no reason not to link to it</li>
<li>Quite a few mobile editors added "open in " feature and the comming policy will allow them to be added to the menu eventually <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="1680851619" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/877" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/openstreetmap/operations/issues/877/hovercard?comment_id=2115927350&comment_type=issue_comment" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/877#issuecomment-2115927350">openstreetmap/operations#877 (comment)</a> which we can prepare for now</li>
<li>my personal experience (<a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="2055421991" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/4435" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/4435/hovercard" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/4435">#4435</a>) as a mapper is, that I want to go to edit to do some quick checks even on mobile … even if I don't plan an extensive edit session or any editing at all</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">From a conceptional and user experience point of view I think we should re-add the edit button.</p>
