Sorry, I meant “changeset discussion comment”, forgot that the term is used for 
both.

@tomhughes Convention is not syntax. Markdown is a (somewhat) formalized syntax 
that was first inspired by preexisting conventions for text-only writing and 
then influenced conventions in return. Granted, it might not be the most common 
convention, but I did use it in comments before and retroactively changing 
rendering to make it look bad seems wrong.

@hlfan Thanks! The set of characters used in common OSM keys is pretty 
limited¹, maybe that part should use a positive set instead of a negative one?

¹ Arguably even the values are limited, since this is linking to wiki pages and 
values with more unusual characters are probably not much documented. The 
proper thing to do imho would be to use the same logic as in tags tables to 
choose linking to full tag / key only / not at all, but this would be more work 
and your quick fix is a good step forward.
