Changing Permalinks

Occasionally, when setting pages on your site and something goes wrong we tend to DELETE a page and just start all over. While this is a good solution, this may have a few unexpected outcomes.
1. This will affect your permalink structure.
Usually you will see a -2 or -3 at the end of your page link.
