I agree with Martin that this is a great redesign. And we should see positively
that so many people react to these redesigns. And let's hope we can have more
positive / constructive discussions among contributors and developers.
I understand that we should accept that some redesigns will affect the way we
are doing things. At the same time, we have to think how people, sometimes
less experimented, may use the OSM map for various usages. I might be a bit
late since I was not there to propose modifications a few weeks ago. But
still...
The Share panel who replace the Permalink, is useful to communicate to others
various informations. For example, it could be a store or a tourist bureau that
wants to provide simply geolocated information. Also we often see OSM
contributors exchanging links to discuss about various aspects of the OSM map.
I propose below minor modifications to the Share panel that to my point of view
would provide more flexibility to take account of the various usages. In this
proposal, the Include marker appears only once and is used for both url links
and Embedded HTML. And there is the possibility to add a descriptive about the
marker.
Share
Include marker
Center page at the marker location
Marker description
* Long Link
* Short Link
Embeddable HTML

was that really so much? In my perception it was very few (if any, less than 3)
who were generally against it, the rest were kind of bug reports, unfortunately
not always setting the right tone.
btw: great redesign, the marker function is a heavily requested feature for
years.
maybe there is a way to integrate a kind of scale indicator?
On mobile safari it works nicely but the links from the left column are missing
(like before this update), namely there should be a link to the wiki and
license page, maybe also the rest. Maybe this could be inside the "i" tab
before the map key?
