501Ghost created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6409)

To improve the quality of notes, could we add a "text needs to be at least 10 characters" type of thing?

With this implemented, people would no longer be able to upload uninformative, short notes, but instead be encouraged to provide context. An example would be a note with “Here is housenumber 1” instead of “1”. The error message for text that is too short could/should include a brief message explaining that notes with longer text are more helpful/informative for other mappers.

This is of course not a fix for all issues around the quality of some notes, but it could be a step in the right direction.
