Since a global account, once deleted, it cannot be "undeleted" by stewards it would be good to set this security measure to avoid, ie: deleting a vandal account by accident.

I just changed the importance from "normal" to "high". I totally agree with MarcoAurelio, PeterSymonds and Leinad.

I too concur, this would be nice to have.

I've did this in JS now and set the deletion form to be collapsed per default. That isn't the perfect way to solve this, but it's a decent fix and makes this extension a little less bad to use.

Waiting for review...

The confirmation patch has been merged, so this is resolved.

The collapse change has been split up: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/27835 btw
