Add notification when editor creates Url collision with multilingual content

[FransdeJong]

Umbraco version

v9

Description

I've run into a situation where a page in a live website kept dropping out of the cache.
After a lot of debugging we finally found out what happened:

To reproduce the issue we ran into you need to do the following.

In a new Umbraco project create two languages, say dutch and english
Create a rootnode variable by culture and save and publish it only in dutch.
Under the rootnode create a node that is not varying by culture, call it for example about and publish it.

In my case the editor published the rootnode in english without telling me

The about page now periodicly starts dropping from the cache. If you reload memory cache it's back up and there is no notification why it dropped from cache.

Solution:
There are multiple solutions to this issue:

1. Prevent publishing a rootnode when there is no culture and hostname set. This could however cause issues when Umbraco is only used as a data store (headless).
2. Add a warning popup that warns the editor to contact the dev
3. Report issues when reloading cahce/publishing the about node or another trigger so we can find the issue.

Myself and @HamDerAndrew lost quite some time indentifying this one.

Hi @FransdeJong ..

When you say "Live website", I guess this is relevant for v8, and not v9 as described in the "Umbraco version".?

Or do I miss something? Can you be more specific about the version by including a minor number too?

[FransdeJong]

Hi @bergmania,

I encountered this in V8.12.2. The reason for picking V9 is that the feature request template forces you to choose in what version you propose the request to be added. Since V9 is around the corner I thought this doesn't need to be added to V8.

So I encountered this in V8. Not sure if it's a bug or it works as designed therefor I picked new feature.

Hey @FransdeJong, I've started looking into this, but can you perhaps provide a little more information so I can try and reproduce the scenario as accurately as possible, mainly:

Which language was set as the default language, English, or Dutch? And how was the domains on the root node set up?

[FransdeJong]

Dutch was the default language. There was no domain set since the site wasn't multilingual yet.

Hiya @FransdeJong,

Just wanted to let you know that we noticed that this issue got a bit stale and might not be relevant any more.

We will close this issue for now but we're happy to open it up again if you think it's still relevant (for example: it's a feature request that's not yet implemented, or it's a bug that's not yet been fixed).

To open it this issue up again, you can write @umbrabot still relevant in a new comment as the first line. It would be super helpful for us if on the next line you could let us know why you think it's still relevant.

For example:

@umbrabot still relevant
This bug can still be reproduced in version x.y.z

This will reopen the issue in the next few hours.
