[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add Wiki Link to Heading (#3041)

[Seth Deegan]

> there are more things to consider than that.

What are the more things?

**My further explanation**
I completely understand the argument that you wouldn't want another site to be linked as a heading, but I personally feel really strongly about the Wiki and think it should have a much better place on the main site than what it currently has. I also think the pros outweigh the cons.

I feel it's okay in this situation for it to link to another site. I've been told _time and time again_ that `openstreetmap.org` is mean for _contributors_. Many times [I've suggested features or simplifications of the site](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Qlp8_f01oRq3ZslJpCuuy-ef-gCD22LpJwAwDtwOPSU/edit?usp=sharing) that make it more like a map product rather than a tool (I want it to look nicer). Community members tell me that should remain as a tool/editor.

Therefore, if the site is meant for contributors, then shouldn't we accommodate that population to the fullest extent? The Wiki as I noted has quite the importance to the community. It itself is also used as a tool. I see little conflicts between the Wiki and the main site when each offer important, but separate features to the community. Contributors should _know_ that the Wiki links to an external site. This is no shock for them. The link will of course open in a new tab, meaning that they won't navigate from the site itself.

Another comparable situation are websites that also have wikis eternally sourced. For example, software projects that use ReadTheDocs for documentation, or even MediaWiki too. 
They link the documentation for their product in the heading of their website. Why can't we?

**Other options**
Another option could be making a "Community" page and heading. This could replace and combine the functions of the "User Diaries" and potential "Wiki" Heading.

If you have any other ideas about a better placement, please share.
