[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Display a link for mapillary keys (#986)

[Frederik Ramm]

I am not convinced. Randomly checking a few mapillary tags, I found many that ware IMHO unsuitable to serve for verifying anything, eg I see no benches on https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5764305442, and what does a mapillary tag on a highway=residential prove (eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/33654447)? I mean, the object already has a location, and if that exact image the mapillary tag points to doesn't give me *more* than just "an easy link to Mapillary at this location" then it's really not very useful is it. I don't understand what a sentence like "Mapillary is a great resource for contributing to OpenStreetMap so it's pretty ridiculous that this is still not supported" even means - in how far does contributing to OSM become easier if you can click on Mapillary links? Or "Since iD is just the 'edit' button on the osm website to most people, it would make sense if the actual map also had the same behavior" - iD is the editor. That you use to edit OSM. For which, people say, Mapillary was useful. Why would it have to be a hyperlink on the web site? I'm sorry but this all sounds like let's make the OSM web site an entry point to exploring the map of an area to me, with links to god-knows-what just to make it more fun.
