History: Orphan preferences

Preview of version: 2

New in Tiki25, it permits to clean out Preferences for previously used but later removed features in Tiki.

Why is this needed? As a policy, Tiki doesn't delete data with site admin's consent/knowledge. So when a feature is removed, what do we do with the associated data? Database tables are renamed to make it easy for an administrator to review and delete manually (or keep/move/etc.). However, preferences are just kept until a Tiki admin deletes them.


As of Tiki25, please consider this feature as experimental. Only use it if you are an experienced Tiki administrator.

There is likely some data here that is actually still used, but in a non-standard way, so it fools our script.
