Marcel Amirault 73c6477b7e Changing badges to use parentheses not brackets
Previously, we used brackets to denote the tier badges,
but this made Kramdown, the docs site Markdown renderer,
show many warnings when building the site. This is now
fixed by using parentheses instead of square brackets.

This was caused by [PREMIUM] looking like a link to
Kramdown, which couldn't find a URL there.

Notes API

Notes are comments on:

  • Snippets
  • Issues
  • Merge requests
  • Epics (ULTIMATE)

This includes system notes, which are notes about changes to the object (for example, when a milestone changes, there will be a corresponding system note). Label notes are not part of this API, but recorded as separate events in resource label events.

Notes pagination

By default, GET requests return 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.

Read more on pagination.
