[pmwiki-users] documenting deleting pages and groups

There has not been any documentation about how to delete pages,
because it may be misused, so I heard. But new users keep asking how
they can delete a page they erroneously created. So I wrote a page:
Cookbook.DeletePage  to document this. But I think this info should be
really part of PmWiki.CreatingNewPages.

If there are any security reasons for withholding such information it
may be better to disable the page delete via a keyword and let the
admin decide if it should be enabled and with what keyword.

One question about deleting groups:
groups are deleted by deleting all pages in the group.
But how do you delete the page RecentChanges?
Entering "delete" in this page is taken as a page change and
RecentPages is recreated, or resurrected....
how do you delete this page apart from doing it via server access?
