Description

When selecting "Delete page..." from either the toolbar menu or in the page tree, a confirmation message is shown detailing which objects will be deleted. This used to be the standard Django delete confirmation message, which lists each instance of objects to be deleted, including each single page, page content, page url, version, plugin, version state tracking, plugin and other objects. As a result, the delete confirmation is often not seen as important or relevant to the user.

To improve UX, this PR proposes a simplified delete confirmation for pages only.

• In the summary, it lists the number of pages, page contents and plugins that will be deleted.
• As details, it contains the hierarchical page tree including page and page content objects. All other models are not explicitly listed.

Screenshot

(djangocms-admin-style hides the summary, unfortunately, but it renders nicely in plain Django admin or with djangocms-simple-admin-style)

(With #8067, the (bold) page titles will appear in the form of "My page title (/path/to/page)")

Feedback welcome (@jrief, @marksweb, @vinitkumar).
