Re: [LogiLogi-list] A rationalization of a part of the deletion-process

I made a small list of constraints that have to be kept in mind for
deleting Concepts, Senses and Words. I did this because in bugreport
1685774 I identified a problem with the deletion the mentioned objects.

This rationalization has not been implemented yet.

Deletion:

First the external constraints (not related to either of the other two):

  Concepts:
  * not if they're fulfilling a role (associated with a group, mode, stance...)
  * not if they are used as tags

  Senses:
  * not if it's word and concept are found together in a LinkPart

  Words:
  * not if used in a link-part

Then the relational constraints:

  Concepts:
  * not if any related word figures in a LinkPart and this is the only
    concept for that word

  Senses:
  * not if it is as_default_word and it's concept cannot be deleted at
    the external level

  Words:
  * not if any related sense cannot be destroyed at the external or
    relational level.

And at last the destruction-process itself:

  Concepts:
  * remove it from any LinkParts, and re-resolve those links
  * delete all it's senses

  Senses:
  * destroy it's concept and/or word if they can be destroyed

  Words:
  * destroy all it's senses
