Could the [X] yes i want to delete this button one has to click to delete pages/images be abolished? I dont think anyone would by accedent click 2 links in a row (delete -> delete) so i dont think the checkbox is needed and just slows me and others down when doing mass deletion.
At least it forces users to review their choices and to enter a comment. I am personally against removing this checkbox.
A little safety valve is always a good idea. One additonal keystroke should not seriously make demands on a person's. The argument in support of it has nothing to do with trusting sysops; one operating is bad faith is no prevented from action by this one keystroke. Sysops can make mistakes as much as anyone else.
I think here is a misunderstanding happening: the safety valve would still be kept, it's just the question to remove one of two additional keystrokes.
To delete a page I currently have to 1) click the link "delete" 2) fill in a reason for the deletion 3) mark the checkbox "Yes, I really want to delete this page" 4) press the button "delete"
How I understood Evar, he wants to have step 3) removed. My opinion: this can safely done (you still have to click two times and give a reason)
Could we do this please?
