We are starting to use Confuence quite heavily and one of the things that we would like is that all deleted pages be placed in a 'Recycle Bin, perhaps keyed with the TimeStamp of deletion.

That would be critical to us especially with new users who may do delete pages by mistake.

1) If desired, it could be an admin option to turn the 'Recycle Bin' on flag.
2) There could be a limit on the size of the recycle bin (200 enteries, or perhaps last 30 days).

As a workaround, we have created a page called DELETED and asked all users to place deleted content as a child to that with the timestamp prepended to the title of the page.
