"Recently Deleted Content" Bin

articles
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
If I delete an article, I'm hosed. After recently accidentally deleting an article with 20+ hours of work on it, and having a quick cry, I realized it'd be nice to have a place to go undelete recently deleted articles.
Whether it retains it for a day, a week, or a month, counting towards article and word limits, it would be a much-appreciated buffer against my own idiocy/bad luck.
Ideally this would work for any piece of content, but articles are the big one, as the process to delete them through athena is easy enough to do by accident.
Follow up
(Previously this has been addressed with the suggestion of creating a "bin" folder to store things in before deleting, but this does not address the issue of accidentally deleting an article when you meant to view or edit it)

on 2022-10-07 16:32I assume what makes this a potential problem is "restoring" the article back in its place, interlinked with all other articles and in its initial category with its initial order etc. If when deleting you lose all that data but keep the contents of the article itself I assume it would be easier to implement. You would still need to do a bit of work to get it to the proper category, reload the image, make it parent article etc but it would be worth it.

on 2022-10-04 17:11Simply making the deletion take a step or just a second longer to klick might even do the trick.

on 2022-09-28 12:07This would be great, though I believe it was addressed before that this would be a hassle to implement. nevertheless, if it is possible, I believe it would be beneficial. Perhaps make the bin auto-delete its contents after a week or so. Thanks for the suggestion. God bless you.

on 2022-09-27 10:32Definitely had those mis-clicks after long hours of work. It would be so nice to have this safety net, as it would let me relax a bit more and work quicker without worrying about trashing all that work irreversibly with just a bump.

on 2022-09-22 09:37Yes, I've had that happen too. In a daze after hours of working on an article for my novel, one miss-click, and bam, everything gone. Would've been nice to be able to get all that work back.

on 2022-09-21 22:26With the delete button and the view button right next to each other in most places on this website, a way to undo deletion would be a lifesaver. My hands are really unsteady bc of my disability, and I have accidentally deleted things more than once. :C

on 2022-09-21 21:56This is really a "if it saves you one time" feature. It seems to be a necessity on mobile because the spacing on articles can be rather close for people with fat thumbs and minimal hand-eye coordination.
