Description Borgx 2006-03-10 06:21:19 UTC 
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)
Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-03-10 07:02:33 UTC 
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.
