[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Display a link for wikimedia_commons keys (#2277)

[Yves Pratter]

> so let us stop showing any links

No links is clearer than some links 😉 

> the constant addition of new link targets shows that this is unmaintainable

In one hand, maintenance of software is difficult…
In the other hand, maintenance of the database is more difficult.

Yes, adding links to the software is difficult, but…

- contributors could send PR
- software could use a repository of pairs of regex/url to avoid rewriting the code each time a new link is needed
- this repository could be shared by several project (i.e. OSM, Overpass-Turbo, Osmose, Map of historical objects…)
- new links are not needed every days 😉 

>This will also stop the nonsense link addition

Adding link have **sense**.

[Again](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/2405#issuecomment-544248520), it:
* lower the maintenance of OSM database
* help contributors and users to understand keys
* help to find POI on the field (i.e. fire hydrant)
* help to check mapping… 

PS: Adding link could be discussed/voted by the community.
