it is should [http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/images/marker-icon-6aaaad19630726240e67d4dc82fe8fc1.png in blue] during link creation (with the "share" tool). However it is shown [http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/marker-red-f87832a08ac6c001291cc4e4ba6fb60d.png in red] for the [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0629&mlon=8.6598#map=15/50.0629/8.6598 produced map].

Could lead to potential confusion if someone sends a link and describes the sent link ("look at the blue marker, that is the location where we will meet").

Also it could lead to confusion with the "notes" markers (which [http://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/open_note_marker-eb6c3b443f5f5b19443151189a0df3a3.png are red - with an X instead of a ]).

Map markers are currently blue, so I guess this was fixed (maybe not deliberately?) in the meantime.
