[openstreetmap-website] Shortlink with node= parameter loses its coordinates (#702)

[Harry Wood]

A short link of the form:
http://osm.org/go/euu45wfE~--?node=815398933
should redirect to something like:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/815398933#map=18/51.53475/-0.10384
(instead it loses it's coordinates and just points at the node)

I was recently browsing the map after somebody sent me a link to node=815398933  and then I went to create a shortlink pointing somewhere slightly different. The result was this weird shortlink with the node= parameter retained.

So we could say there are other bugs there. The link isn't particularly short. The link doesn't fit within the shortlink box, so you can't see this extra parameter, and it's surprise when you come to paste it.... but mostly I think it would be OK if the redirect was smarter.
