I just wanted to give the DNN core developers, and ideally anyone responsible for the Recycle Bin, a big THANK YOU! 

I deleted a parent page that had children, expecting it's siblings to each become parent pages themselves.  Instead, all of the children were deleted as well!  I panicked at first, but a quick search led me to the Recycle Bin.  I was able to restore all of them, disconnect the parent from each of the children, and then delete the parent again.  whew

If anything, I think deleting a page with children should cause an additional warning dialog box, confirming the action, like "Deleting this page will also delete 5 children pages.  Are you sure?".  Even with the Recycle Bin, this warning could save a newbie like me a LOT of hardburn!
