Reddit's submit page now ignores the `url` parameter on both /submit and /web/submit, which went back to "Page not found", so only the title is prefilled. Document the behavior and a text-post workaround built with openShareWindow instead of changing RedditShareButton, since the cause is on Reddit's side. Related to #545 and #546.

Closing without merging. A manual check shows the current Reddit button does prefill both the title and the link, so this note would be incorrect. |

Documents that Reddit no longer prefills the shared link, and shows a workaround. Docs only, so there is no changeset.
Why
urlparameter: only the title is prefilled with/submit, and/web/submitreturns "Page not found" again (it was removed from the button in 5.3.0 for the same reason, see Reddit share goes to Page not found #571 and remove "web" from reddit share url #572).selftext=true&text=<url>), which changes the post type, so I'm not changingRedditShareButtonfor it.Changes
openShareWindowexample for the text-post workaround.Once this is merged I'll close #545 and #546 with links to the note.
