This is why we need a test server. http://dev.openstreetmap.org/ should
lead to a near-identical looking site to the main site, but where this
kind of scratchpad testing, etc. is explcitly allowed. The database
behind this site should be overwritten with the real database
periodically. The site would also be the place where new versions of the
site and Potlatch can be tried and tested.
