I’m not sure if this fits into this topic, since this seems more like a #Contribute > Feature request, but I like the idea that when a onebox fails because some tags are missing, the link is shown as an inline onebox instead of the raw link.

So when I post:

```plaintext
https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy

```

The preview looks like this:

But the link in the post looks like this:

> **[Trademark Policy - OpenStreetMap Foundation](https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy)**

It would be prettier if the link would use an inline onebox and look like this:  
[Trademark Policy - OpenStreetMap Foundation](https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy)
