[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] link ref:IE:smr value (Issue #3920)

[b-unicycling]

Thanks for raising the issue. I would think that once you have found the number on the historic environment viewer while mapping, you can find the classification of the site used by the National Monuments Service which can be useful, because tumili, ringforts and mottes can look fairly similar, and sometimes, if a feature is called "Stone Circle" on the British War office map, it is actually not a stone circle, but a court tomb according to the newer classification. But once you have found the number and are willing to add it to OSM using `ref:IE:smr`, adding the right tags for the monument should go with that anyway.

My idea behind adding `ref:IE:smr` was rather to make it easier to find the monuments and the further information on the historic environment viewer coming from OSM, because the HEV doesn't use GPS coordinates which makes it very difficult to find a location you have as GPS on their map.

It would help the end user by giving them a link to further information, just like a wiki link would, because nobody is going to write a wikipedia article for everyone of the 40,000 ringforts in Ireland, for example, or even every towerhouse. We get but dream of those times.
