   One thing that makes this need more discussion is that mediawiki supports restoring pages, which then returns the page to the previous ID. When that happens, the current TeamComments functionality restores the comment chain as it was.

   So the choice in front of us is:

   • Keep current functionality. The risk is bloated DB (not a big risk), and comment aggregation pages need to be aware that comments may be linked to pages that are dead
   • Delete comments when pages is deleted, and just lose them if page is restored.
   • Mirror what mediawiki does, and hook into both delete and restore actions, and have a secondary table where "deleted comments" live.
