You can change the keyword that deletes a page and tell it only to trusted 
editors. Set this command in config.php :

    $DeleteKeyPattern = "^\\s*Abracadabra\\s*$";

The new keyword will not be "delete" as is the default installation, 
but "Abracadabra". (You can change it of course.)

* Don't touch the other characters ^\\s*$ unless you know what they mean.
* Don't use other symbols +.[]\/* etc. unless you know what they mean.
