When fixed, this functionality expectation should be generalised and added to the Code Book, and referenced in our standards checklist.
DESCRIPTION_DELETE=Tick (check) this if this is to be deleted. This is immediate and irreversible.
DESCRIPTION_DELETE_LOSE_CONTENTS=Tick (check) this if this is to be deleted. This is immediate and irreversible. The contents of this category will also be deleted.
DESCRIPTION_DELETE_PARENT_CONTENTS=Tick (check) this if this is to be deleted. This is immediate and irreversible. The contents of this category will be moved to the parent category.
They should be used/adjusted to be completely accurate.
I don't like how piecemeal this is, so I don't plan to merge it. It should be an option with the delete fields on the edit form.
