Populate changeset field with better changeset comment #226

Open sfkeller opened 7 years ago

sfkeller commented 7 years ago

When starting Edit (link) with iD or JOSM, the changeset comment needs to be enhanced with better URL encoding. And hashtags in changeset comments should be avoided - or at least put at end of comment.

Proposal with example "Missing Crosswalks of Southern Switzerland (Switzerland)" to enhance current changeset comment:

&comment=%23maproulette%20Missing_Crosswalks_of_SouthernSwitzerland(Switzerland)

to

&comment=Missing+Crosswalks+of+Southern+Switzerland+%28Switzerland%29+%23MapRoulette

Maybe there should be an extra field in the challenge description that contains the changeset comment? It could be pre-set with what is currently in the comment, but the challenge admin can edit it.

Just realized that this is even worse when the Maproulette challenge will be removed at some point, because then the name of the challenge isn't useful any more to find some context. The comment should really contain enough information to stand on its own.

Agreed, I think an extra field in the wizard could be useful for that where challenge authors could explicitly state the changeset comment. I would like to have the comment have a uniform part too, so changeset analysis can uncover MapRoulette trends.

This should be pretty easy to add, labeling quick-fix
