Description

iD should display Geofabrik’s OSM Inspector service as one or more data layers accessible from the Map Data panel, similar to the existing integrations with KeepRight (#5201), ImproveOSM (#5739), and Osmose (#7095).

OSM Inspector’s WMS layers have been excluded from iD since 53d8a30032da9abe384b52126338ffbe548ddae0, probably because some of the layers are unactionable without a feature inspector or even a legend. Fortunately, OSM Inspector also provides a Web Feature Service endpoint that comes with both geometries and issue metadata. I’m unsure how much it differs from the endpoints exposed by the other services.

Research direction
Examine existing integrations (KeepRight, ImproveOSM, Osmose) to understand the pattern for adding a new data layer. Then implement WFS integration for OSM Inspector.
