<h3 dir="auto">Problem</h3>
<p dir="auto">Links to OSM entities are quite unwieldy, e. g.: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/157188078" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/157188078</a>.<br>
Long links can be problematic in various situations, e.g. QR codes, short messages, emails in a text terminal.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">Description</h3>
<p dir="auto">Could you implement short links? For above this might be <a href="https://osm.org/c157188078" rel="nofollow">https://osm.org/c157188078</a>.<br>
A prefix character specifies the entity type, the remaining digits are the entity identifier.<br>
This should be implemented for:</p>
