      Problem: If a user deletes a page in a space that is the space homepage the following breaks:

      • Clicking on the space homepage logo in the sidebar does nothing
      • The navigation in the bottom left of the sidebar doesn't work

      We don't want users to shoot themselves in the foot, what we propose is to not allow a user to delete a page if it is set as the homepage.

      If they go to Tools > Delete and that is the homepage, instead of displaying a confirmation prompt we display:

      "Oops, it looks like this page is set as your Space Homepage. You will need to <a href="link.to/viewspacesummary.action?key=spacekey>select another homepage</a> for your space before deleting this."

      From the viewspacesummary.action they can set a new homepage.

      That's it!
