I often want to copy an edit note that I've previously submitted and paste it as a new edit note, but there doesn't seem to be any easy way to do this, since the server automatically linkifies documentation pages, truncates long URLs, and does other markup transformations.

For example, after I enter the following text:

update tracklist per [Style/Language/English].

the server renders it as:

update tracklist per Style/Language/English.
see also https://nilsfrahm.bandcamp.com/track/the-whole-u…

It would be helpful if the server provided the client with the original text (before it's been transformed by format_editnote in lib/MusicBrainz/Server/Filters.pm), and if the edit note header (containing the author name and timestamp) had a "Show original" link that would toggle displaying the original unformatted text.

Does this seem reasonable, or is it too niche? Would there be concerns about increasing the size of edit pages by including the original text for each edit note?
