I noticed some rearrangements in how Deleted pages are handled. Two objections to the new way this works: 1) All pages links to TODO, with a note that the page is to be deleted. Why? They are already deleted. It also clutters the TODO referrer list, which I and I suppose other people use to check for unfinished descriptions etc. 2) All the edit history comments are replaced with "Page deleted". This makes sense for the last edit, but destroys useful info should one need to check something in the old versions.

1) Because the TODO of page deletion is part of the page's history. I realize it clutters the referrer list; maybe an exception should be added. 2) That was my mistake. I could undo it with backups, but it would be extra effort…
