As a footnote and unrelated to the parent-child-issue: I would love to see the deleted page being restored at its original position. Only when the "former" position is no longer possible (say: after a restructuring of the relevant page family), should the page be restored to the root of the space.

So much for my thoughts ...

Recently, a couple of our customer's asked us about this issue. I would love to see this implemented. At the least, as Daniel Siegmann already wrote, the documentation should be modified to make it clearer that pages become orphaned.

The documentation should also be improved to make this problem clearer. The documentation mentions that pages are restored to the root of the space, but doesn't use the phrase "orphan" and doesn't really call out the problem. It should be made clearer that once a page is deleted, the destruction of the hierarchy is permanent.

Specifically, I'd like to see this called out in
Deleting a page and
Restoring a Deleted Page.

I can confirm this issue affects 2.10.3 still. Some of our users stumbled on this. A page was accidentally deleted, but it had not explicit links to its parents or children (they were using the

macro). The result was a bunch of orphaned pages and a struggle to remember what the hierarchy was supposed to look like (there is no way to tell).
