Description

In edit mode on the desktop, after clicking "Show preview", a "Go to editing area" link is displayed at the top of the page, which allows you return to the edit form. Please add a similar link at the top of the page after clicking "Show changes".

Notes from JWheeler-WMF: In the source editor, editors sometimes want to view their changes and compare diffs before publishing. When there are lots of diffs, it can be cumbersome or inconsistent to have to scroll to the bottom of the page to view the editor. This wish suggests implementing the same "go to editing area" button that exists on "show preview."
