I realize this may be a nit, but can we characterize this as "Deleted databases may be able to be restored"? Based on the current configuration DBs will be restorable for at least 7 days (depending on when the cleanup job runs), but I would rather hedge here with more permissive language than "can" to avoid suggesting that the customer can always wait til the last moment to restore.

See #6528 and #6562 - I think we have a template we can reference here so that we don't need to rewrite this text.

There is one instance where we did need to hardcode it in the above PRs for formatting reasons, so double check with hugo serve locally to make sure the template works

This looks good. Please post a screenshot of what the page looks like after a local hugo serve to verify the formatting carried across.
