Revert #47934

@@ -331,7 +331,6 @@ Other enhancements
 - :meth:`DataFrame.quantile` gained a ``method`` argument that can accept ``table`` to evaluate multi-column quantiles (:issue:`43881`)
 - :class:`Interval` now supports checking whether one interval is contained by another interval (:issue:`46613`)
 - Added ``copy`` keyword to :meth:`Series.set_axis` and :meth:`DataFrame.set_axis` to allow user to set axis on a new object without necessarily copying the underlying data (:issue:`47932`)
-- :meth:`Series.add_suffix`, :meth:`DataFrame.add_suffix`, :meth:`Series.add_prefix` and :meth:`DataFrame.add_prefix` support a ``copy`` argument. If ``False``, the underlying data is not copied in the returned object (:issue:`47934`)
 - :meth:`DataFrame.set_index` now supports a ``copy`` keyword. If ``False``, the underlying data is not copied when a new :class:`DataFrame` is returned (:issue:`48043`)
 - The method :meth:`.ExtensionArray.factorize` accepts ``use_na_sentinel=False`` for determining how null values are to be treated (:issue:`46601`)
