    Description

      In the Estatio app (and presumably many others, too), when the user deletes an object then they are shown the "no results" page.

      What we have observed the user then do is to press the back button. This navigates them to the object just deleted; because it has been deleted, the Wicket viewer shows them an error page.

      With the RoutingService (introduced in 1.11.0) we have the opportunity to route the user to some other "more useful" object, eg the parent of the deleted object, or some other object recently visited, or the home page.

      Even so, if the user does press the back button, they would still see the same message.

      This ticket is therefore to provide an optional capability to have the back button disabled. Think it should be optional because not everyone (every programmer) will agree that back buttons should be disabled and in any case for some use cases, eg in read-only app, a back button is probably a good thing.
