[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add interactive icons for wikipedia and website in object details (#1517)

[Ryszard Mikke]

> I think this icon stuff solves a local problem
I don't know what you mean by "local problem". Take a look at [my heatmap](http://yosmhm.neis-one.org/?rmikke) - most of edits are for wikipedia related problems reported by OSMOSE and [this page](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yurik/OSM_wiki_tag_problems), including almost every edit outside Poland. I have seen wikipedia tags on relation parts at least in Alaska, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kirgistan and Malaysia. How does it make the problem local?

Beginners having no idea that relations exist and they are the place to put wikipedia link is also not a local problem.

> Some may think that a wikipedia/website tag is a requirement and would set wrong values just to fill these attributes.

They are already doing this and if they put e.g. disambiguation page once for relation, instead of every way belonging to the relation, we have less work correcting it, don't we?

And I don't know what would make user think wikipedia entry is required, to be frank.

> Did you consider making a browser plugin to request relation data via ajax and add these icons to the page?

No, I haven't. Firstly because I'm not able to write such a plugin. Secondly, because I consider it important that users see the icons by default, not requiring installing some plugin they probably don;t even know exists. It's not about me wanting easier access to wikipedia. It's about users not knowing that ways belong to some relation that already has wikipedia and/or website defined.
