#4568: DatabaseWarning too OSM-specific, impossible to disable ("changes are saved

 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:                                
Component:  potlatch2    |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 The save dialog ({{{SaveDialog.mxml}}}) contains a hardcoded warning
 (databaseWarning):

 {{{
     Your changes are saved to the main OpenStreetMap database for everyone
 to
     see. This is not your own private map. Please don't save test
 changes
     or edits for personal use only.
 }}}

 I couldn't find any way to disable or customize this. When using Potlatch
 as an editor for custom instances, this warning is extremely confusing.
 Additionally, it seems that this warning is not localized.

 Please allow some easy way (e.g. a flash var) to customize/disable this
 warning.

 As the coding guidelines say "Both Potlatch 2 and Halcyon can be deployed
 locally (i.e. not on openstreetmap.org), and indeed can talk to databases
 other than the main OSM instance. So don't be too OSM-specific", I am
 labeling this as defect.
