That topic was split so you destabilized the page number, it is a fundamental limitation with our numbering implementation

Take a book analogy, in a book if you rip out page 77, page 200 remains page 200. In Discourse page 200 becomes page 199

I guess, maybe it does make sense to auto redirect high page numbers back to last page.
