Feature request: WikiForum should provide the ability to restore a thread, thread reply, forum, or category
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Similar to T127595, WikiForum doesn't provide this ability. Thus, any three of these objects that get deleted are deleted forever. Perhaps we can use a similar UI to the Comments UI concept?

This is an interesting idea and I support this since currently the method of delete is nuking from the SQL database resulting in complete loss. In order to restore, this requires to first store deleted items in a temporary SQL table for later restore.
