Recently, A question and my answer to it has been deleted due to the user asking the question being deleted. While the question had some flaws, I really liked my answer and wish to preserve it (and therefore the question as well!).

For my deleted answer, I could simply copy the source by editing. But for the deleted question, neither the edit, nor revision history works (I can still see the html output via recently deleted questions, though).

Is there some way I can retrieve the question markdown source? (Preferable within my privilege range, the question concerns CS.SE)

If I'm personally unable to do this, would a mod be able to do this if I asked?
