| Title | Reuse URL monikers of deleted content |
| Status | Completed |

| Addon | core |
| Description | We should allow automatic re-use of URL monikers of since-deleted-content when adding new content that would want the same moniker, for the following reasons:
1) Users will delete then re-add content and expect to be able to use the same moniker for UX reasons 2) Users may have already created URLs to that content, e.g. on the menu, hard-coding the moniker - and expect the URL to still function 3) New content may have the same ID as deleted content (due to how MySQL auto-increment works), so monikers for totally irrelevant content will become aliases for new content |
| Steps to reproduce | |

Comments
1) non-deprecated monikers pointing to deleted data (these should be marked deprecated, so Composr can recycle them for future use if desired).
2) conflicting references under the same moniker (chooses the most recent to keep).
