On deleting a pages_language_overlay record, its contents are not deleted

DataHandler aka TCEmain
Description
In TYPO3, on deleting a page, every record associated with the page is also marked as deleted (see DataHandler::deleteSpecificPage).
Currently, if someone deletes a pages_language_overlay record, the contents/records in this respective language are not deleted. This can be destructing if the overlay is deleted and at a later point a new overlay is created. In this case, old/obsolete records show up.
I'm not sure if deleting the pages_language_overlay should delete only content elements related with the language or all records.
(BTW, the TCEmain category in Forge should be renamed to DataHandler :-)).
I know this behavior a long time, I delete first the records and then the overlay.
I'm not sure if deleting the pages_language_overlay should delete only content elements related with the language or all records.
when delete a language overlay, only in this language translated records should be deleted.
(BTW, the TCEmain category in Forge should be renamed to DataHandler :-)).
I think DataHandler to better known by TCEmain, maybe both names!?
The conclusion of a discussion in Slack is this idea from Matthias Schreiber:
- Confirmation on deleting a localization of a page: "You attempt to delete the language X of this page, do you want me to remove the contents of this language as well?"
- Confirmation on adding a localization: "You added a language for this page. I have found content for this page that might be outdated. Do you want me to restore of discard this content?"
The majority of people involved in the discussion think that there should be no automatism, so the only cascading effect is that deleting a page (not the overlay) deletes its contents.
- Tracker changed from Bug to Feature
- Priority changed from Should have to Could have
Still present in latest master, with both "translate" and "copy" mode
- Status changed from New to Rejected
this is a conceptual thing of the current DataHandler characteristics and can't be changed easily without a huge impact. data consistency in this area would need a new dedicated effort including a concept and works on the todos and can't be done with this single issue alone. i'm thus rejecting the issue for now - waiting for a broader concept on that.
- Is duplicate of Bug #90447: Deleting a translated page does not delete the content elements of the translated page added
