StreetComplete allows to attach image to notes, which often makes 
this notes able to be remotely confirmed and fixed.

This is quite useful

Images are temporarily stored on server operated by SC author.

But some people mistakenly add them as value of image tag, unaware that
they will be gone soon after note is closed.

I propose to remove all image=https://westnordost.de/p/* values,
automatically, with bot.
And also ones added as value of website/url/etc tags.

Edit would apply to all existing ones and to new ones as they arrive.

Every single such link is dead or will be dead and therefore adds no value.

https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/591 and https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/22397 were also opened to warn
people adding them

Example link to be removed: 

image=https://westnordost.de/p/17484.jpg

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=image&value=https%3A%2F%2Fwestnordost.de%2Fp%2F17484.jpg

there are thousands of object with such tags

(if you made edit like this: maybe image is not yet deleted and you can
upload such own image to Wikimedia Commons)
