Make deletion reversible by an admin; there are always ways to make a mistake you want to recover (which might wipe out dozens or hundreds of hours of work).

If something firmer than 'reversible deletion' is desired, you could add a second type of deletion (that only admins, not authors, can carry out on request).

Include deletion of pages as well as of whole communities.

Highlighting this again: I just now found my first case of practical linkrot: I had a link to a kfg pub (I didn't bother to include metadata like title, author, date in my note) which is now dead, w/ no forwarding address. It's entirely possible that it was deleted and recreated somewhere else (in another community? merged?), but I won't be able to find it this way.

Is there any way to recover context? Private pubs wouldn't be archived by any web archiver, either.
