Deleting a page shouldn't require a separate page load
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

Currently when a user deletes a page, a separate "Action complete" page is loaded. This is annoying and very against the current Web 2.0 trends.

Deletion of a page should be possible using something like AJAX where a box pops up, you pick your deletion reason, etc., and then the page is deleted without requiring a full new page load.

Obviously the old behavior (loading "Action complete") would stay around as a fallback.

STAB no STAB such STAB thing STAB :D

I'm not sure this is really necessary... we have this for page moving too, and I wouldn't care to list out what else beyond the first thing that pops into my mind. Do we really need AJAX for every part of the wiki?

I sort of agree. At the very least, it would be nice to have flash messages (which are where the "Page has been moved successfully" message gets saved in a session variable to be displayed at the top of the page on the next request).

I am against it...
In my opinion it is not good if you hit the "Deletion" button and your page is away immedietally...

But there could be a possibillity to change the code so that it is changeable in the admin's user settings...
