[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Notes from website should include an indication the note was created here (Issue #3932)

[Thomas Nagy]

Bigger problems we see with map notes are the following.

The name "note" itself is confusing users.

Would need a bit more elaboration of what it does on the interface before submission.

Sometimes, it is evident from the text of the map note that it was either created by mistake or that we will inevitably ask for further evidence (usually a website or photo). So it would be beneficial if we had a collaborative edited regexp or fuzzy rule set to which the interface could pop up a dialog during or before submission for confirmation with a canned recommendation text.

If one adds a note without logging in, they won't get notified if a mapper would ask for elaboration. Hence we usually just close this on first sight if any question comes up. Just mentioning about each POI that it might or might not be live today helps nobody if we need to survey it in person - these things clear up on a mapping party.

Registration should be made less painful.

Even without registration, there should be some easy way one adding a map note could be notified about feedback (for further questions or for just saying thank you after we acted upon it). This could be in the form of a PWA through 0-factor anonymous cookie-login or the user typing in their email or some other messaging contact that could be stored temporarily for a relay bot to forward messages in a pseudonymous manner.
