Proposal to better differentiate deleted and non-existing pages

Is the create link + button redundancy needed?

It’s not needed but I wanted to give more prominence.

@mflorea

So this is for a user that can restore or create a new page in this location, right? It’s not consistent with the “Page not found” screen where there is a visible Create button. I’m pretty sure users will spend a few seconds wondering “How can I create a new page in this location, to replace the deleted page?”. The message can be improved I think, something like:

The page “Page Name” has been deleted. You can restore it using the table below or you can replace it by creating a new page.

I liked the proposed message and adjusted the mockup to also have a create button.

@mflorea

Note that from a missing / deleted page I can currently choose, as an advanced user, what editor to use to create the page, using the Edit button drop-down. We would lose this ability if we show only the Create button, like in the “Page not found” screen. It’s not a big deal, but it may annoy power users.

We could show a split button, for advanced users at least.

@mflorea

This is for users that can’t create a new page in the current location right? The message under the title is kind of redundant (doesn’t bring any new information compared to the title). We should either rephrase it to bring some value or drop it.

I reworked the message a bit and removed the table since the information can be in the message itself.

Thanks!
