(Fat fingers, sorry 😅 )

We started looking into the shortcut part of this issue, but we have discovered that quite a bit was already done. So we will likely move on to the deleting pages part of the issue.

We have questions about implementation of this feature, specifically in regards to expected UX for deleting pages:

1. In Roam, you can check pages in the All Pages list and then you can bulk delete. Do we also want to implement that here? Or are bulk operations out of the scope of this issue?
2. What happens to empty pages that have no links to them. Do we keep them? Eagerly delete them?
3. If you delete a page, should all corresponding links to it be deleted? (this is current Roam behavior)

The main part remaining for shortcuts is decrementing all the indices after the index that was removed, which is NBD.

1. Bulk operations are part of All Pages, out of scope.
2. Can you give me an example?
3. Yes, and we have all the :block/uids in linked references.

Made #292 for you three. I also think you can assign yourselves to the issue now. I had to add the athens repo to the devs team.

2. Can you give me an example?

We're thinking of pages that were created by a link, but the link was later removed. Here is what is happening in Roam:

1. Create new block with link to [[new page]]
2. new page is visible in All Pages
3. remove link to new page in new block
4. new page is no longer visible in All Pages (it has been deleted)

[tangjeff0]

Yeah, we should delete orphan pages, if they were created as a result of block writing. We should probably keep orphan pages if they are created through "Create New Page" functionality. But I'm not entirely sure how to distinguish these two cases.

I am looking through issues for a good first contribution. This seems interesting, have there been developments since your last comment @tangjeff0 ?

Hi @hmaurer, Pages are mainly done. There are better first issues on https://github.com/athensresearch/athens/projects/4.
