Deleting the included root page causes crash

[weholt]

Describe the bug

If I try to delete the root page included after the base project has been created, I get a crash

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new project using coderedcms start project_name
2. Click delete on the only page available in the admin
3. See error

Expected behavior

I want to be able to add a basic web page with some content as my root page, like the included WebPage.

Additional context

Exception details:

RuntimeError at /admin/pages/1/
Site-specific settings cannot be identified because `request` is not available in the context and `use_default_site` is False.

Wagtail must have a Root Page, and a Default Site, in order to function properly. I would recommend creating a new Root Page, then setting it as the default for your site, before deleting the existing Root Page. Does that work?

I didn't connect the new root page to a default site. That was the missing piece. Connecting my new root page to the default site, then deleting the former root page fixed the problem. Thanks :-)
