When deleting a page from a space that only contains WebPreferences, propose to delete children too

    Description

      Several users have reported the following problem:

      • They create a page (a Nested Page)
      • They change the permissions (for example). Internally this creates a WebPreferences page (but they don't know about it, it's hidden)
      • Then they delete the Nested Page. By default children are not deleted from the delete UI.
      • Then they go to the Dashboard Tree and notice that the page is still listed (that's because WebPreferences is still there!)

      Solution:

      • On the delete page UI, if the page being deleted is not WebPreferences and if this space contains only the page being deleted + WebPreferences then automatically set the "delete children" checkbox to true.

      I'm marking this issue as critical since a lot of users have asked this question.
