Protect entries from being accidentally deleted

Darren Miller put together a list of ways to protect entries from being accidentally deleted. If you’re like me, you probably already take some of these measures (like enabling versioning or properly setting member group permissions) but Darren took it a step further using a config variable and a simple extension to protect a set of entries. Very clever!

Is this necessary?

It may seem unlikely that someone would go through a double-submit confirm procedure to delete the home page of the site but somehow it does happen. So how to stop it?

Read the entire write-up from Darren to find out how he does it.

What do you do to protect entries for the sites you build? Do you have a different approach?
