commons-on-osm map default start location is zoomed in on 0,0. That's if you visit the URL without any parameters: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/commons-on-osm.php
This reveals some weirdness with lots of images at the 0,0 point in the middle of the ocean, and in general is just a bit confusing.
It would be easier for the user to orient themselves if we default to somewhere like this https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/commons-on-osm.php?zoom=3&lat=35&lon=0 (low zoom being the main thing)
For bonus points we could detect this case and request browser's geolocation instead (or offer this with a message appearing somewhere)
