When a page has been occupied by the Flow extension, the standard delete action no longer functions. This should be fixed.

It's unclear what the right behavior here is, and it may change depending on how we enable Flow on pages in the future. If Flow is enabled on some page, visiting it shows the Flow header and topics for that page. The wikitext of the page isn't shown, so whether it's deleted or changed (which you can currently still do through the API) has no effect. Behind the scenes Flow calls ensureFlowRevision(), which creates a dummy "This talk page has been taken over by a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Flow_Portal Flow board]" revision, but users won't see this text until Flow is disabled on that page.
