Add citation warning before permanent item deletion #5044

@Paurikova2

Description

@Paurikova2

Problem

Currently, when an administrator deletes an item from the repository, there is no strong warning that:

  • the item may already have been cited
  • the item has (or had) a persistent identifier (Handle/DOI)
  • deleting it may break scholarly references and external links

Proposed Improvement

Before permanent deletion of an item, display a confirmation dialog with a stronger warning, for example:
This item has a persistent identifier and may have already been cited. Deleting it may break references in scholarly literature and external systems. Are you sure you want to permanently delete this item?
Optional enhancements:

  • Show the PID (Handle/DOI) in the dialog
  • Recommend Withdraw instead of Delete when appropriate
