Details

Apparently the "delete package" button got clicked when my cat walked over my keyboard. It'd be nice if there was a confirmation when deleting packages rather than assuming the user definitely wanted this ;-)

(Also, a small thing but the buttons on the individual package pages say "disown packages" and "delete packages", they should be singular.)
This task depends upon

Should the solution to this be integrated with http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6564 (disallow pkg deletion for regular users)?

Delete confirmation would still be a good thing for the privileged users.

Just happened to me, and it feels so bad... I'm adding my vote.

I don't really want to add an extra page for confirmation. Would anyone be against just adding a javascript alert or something that can degrade gracefully on browsers that don't support it? It would be a really simple fix this way.

@wizzo: it'd be good for me, anything goes as long as it prevents accidental deletion, and if it's a small modification, more power to you :)

My genius idea:

Button Checkbox
[Delete] [x] Confirm?

It's a javascript solution. Forgot to mention this. Is javascript acceptable?.

A non Javascript solution is preferred.

what's wrong with using little bit of Javascript?

I want this to work in all browsers.
