--- Comment #6 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> ---
See also bug 58193. I'm not sure I agree that a change tag should link directly
to a consumer-specified URL. What I like about a MediaWiki-generated page like:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthListConsumers/view/90b858d7d1179a1b4eee89956e735e80

1) We can localize it and display it in the context/language of the wiki where
the application ran.

2) We can ensure that some standard fields (e.g. bug reporting mechanism,
source code) are present and easily discoverable.

3) We can ensure that basic application metadata is available even if the
application's own website is not.

If we have such standard information in a structured form, we can then also
build new user interfaces if we desire it (for example, you could imagine
clicking on a ChangeTag for "Cool Wikipedia Editor" and it offers you a "report
a bug" link, but that would require knowing what the bug report URL for "Cool
Wikipedia Editor" is).

What I don't like about the current page is that it's not user-friendly and
doesn't include obviously useful information.

I'd suggest, as a minimally problematic first step, cleaning up that page a
bit, and adding at least a tool URL and a description/help URL, and possibly
some of the other fields mentioned in bug 58193. If I'm wrong and linking
directly to either of those URLs is more useful than a localized landing page,
we can always do so later.
