i think it's a very good idea. I would make that link point to a page
explaining about OSM concept, that it's not a WMF project, they need a
separate account, what things are acceptable, etc.
Preferably, I would make that wallpage at OSM side, in that way that it
wouldn't appear if it was a logged in OSM user (not just for
old-OSMers,
but also for wikipedians which create an account and then go editing
through several articles).
Getting this right will be a little tricky, but probably key to making
this work acceptably for wikipedia users.
I don't yet know if such a functionality could be included into
OpenStreetMap's page (currently it doesn't yet exist), but I'll try and
find out if such a thing would at least theoretically be possible. If it
would make sense and there is a good concept / design for it, I could
try and write a patch for such a functionality.
Heh. It *is* implementable.
I don't know the code used by OSM, by it should be quite easy to change.
I wasn't so much referring to technically possible, but "socially
acceptable". I.e would the OSM sysadmins accept such a patch into
openstreetmap.org. I suspect if done well, it would be possible. So the
next question would be what exactly should it look like?
