how to create non editable field to show page ID in admin form?

I need to display the page id when view/edit a page in the admin, I am not sure how to do this.

Basically it is a field that the user cannot edit, it will show a url to the page with the id in it, like this; www.site.com/en/pageID

This is so CMS users can share the short url. I am using @adrian's redirect module to enable redirect using page IDs.

@adrian thank you, I will use this runtime markup fieldtype

 

On a side note, using hooks how would you put a non editable field at the top of a form?

this is what I had come up with before seeing your reply above, the results are it gets added but under the save button.

For learning purposes, how would I make it added at the top of the existing form fields (if it is even possible)?

wire()->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm', function($event) {
    $pp = wire('pages')->get(wire('input')->get->id);
    $form = $event->return;
    $field = wire('modules')->get("InputfieldMarkup");
    $field->label = 'TEST';
    $field->value = $pp;
    $form->append($field);
});

if anyone needs example of insert custom field before other form fields:

wire()->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm', function($event) {
    $pp = wire('pages')->get(wire('input')->get->id);
    $form = $event->return;
    $field = wire('modules')->get("InputfieldMarkup");
    $field->label = 'TEST';
    $field->value = $pp;
    $field2 = $form->get('title'); // Field to find and insert new field "before" it
    $form->insertBefore($field,$field2);
});

    $form->insertBefore($field,$field2);
});

 

If I'm adding a custom field I also take it that I'll need to create a schema etc to store the values?

Is there a way to adding abitry fields to a page in admin similar to notes, description fields without defining a schema?
