Description

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_Southern_Switzerland_(Switzerland)

to

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