| 1 | When [[deleting a Page>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.refactoring-operations-pages.delete-page.WebHome]], consider the following consequences: | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | * Broken links: All links pointing to the deleted Page will stop working. Before deletion, you can check the [[backlinks>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.DocumentLifecycle.WebHome||anchor="HInformation"]] and then, when deleting, use the [[deletion wizard>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.refactoring-operations-pages.delete-page.deletion-wizard.WebHome]] to choose how to handle them (e.g., by creating a redirect, selecting a replacement Page, or updating links). | ||
| 4 | * Deleted parent Pages: If you delete a [[parent>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]] Page but keep its [[children>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]], the parent will still appear in the [[navigation>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HNavigationPanel"]] as a [[deleted Page>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.refactoring-operations-pages.delete-page.deleted-pages.WebHome]], from where it can be restored. | ||
| 5 | * Access to deleted Pages: Users can only access [[deleted Pages>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.refactoring-operations-pages.delete-page.deleted-pages.WebHome]] if they are parents and still have undeleted children Pages (visible in the navigation). | ||
| 6 | * Administrator actions: Administrators can [[restore any Page>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.page.all-wiki-pages.restore-page.WebHome]], [[restore batches of Pages>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.page.all-wiki-pages.restore-batches.WebHome]], or [[permanently delete Pages>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.page.all-wiki-pages.delete-pages.WebHome]]. |
