Please provide warning to user when deleting non-orphan page. (Page which has been linked from another pages or templates which in used by other pages) A warning should be like this: Warning. You are deleting a non-orphan page. This could lead to broken links in another pages. (pages) and Warning. This template is still in use. (templates)
Broken links don't matter. Users don't need to be penalised about deleting something; if it's to be deleted, it's to be deleted. There are sufficient reasons to delete non-orphaned pages.
