Immediate vs Delayed Deleting

Editing version 3 of page Immediate_vs_Delayed_Deleting (the most recent revision is 4)

Currently (as of [[Version 0.40]]) Aneuch uses delayed deleting (see [[Deleting Pages]]).

Prior to this version, Aneuch used immediate deleting (see [[Deleting Pages pre 0.40]]). This was the easiest way to implement page deletion at the time it was implemented (around April 9th, 2013).

Some advantages of immediately deleting:
* If you absolutely need to remove content from your site ASAP (e.g. a lawsuit), it's done quickly and easily
* It was the easiest method to implement into Aneuch

And some disadvantages:
* Deleting a page is an unrecoverable event - one would have to consult their backups if a page was inadvertently deleted

Advantages of delayed deleting
* A deleted page is easily recoverable (revert to the previous change)

And disadvantages:
* If you need to remove content immediately, you would have to edit the page database directly
* Was a tad bit more difficult to implement into Aneuch
