This is related to #1842036: [META] Convert all confirm forms to use modal dialog → and I consider it to be a follow-up task...

It seems that there is consensus to move the "delete" tab back to being a button and adding a modal to it that will hold the confirmation message. This is precautionary measure in order to prevent data loss from accidental clicks to the "delete" button.

Now, when it comes to the "save" button, when a content type is not configured to retain any old revisions (which is the current default), it is subject to the same accidental data loss. This does not apply to the "publish"/"unpublish" action that can be safely reverted.

I believe that we should treat this case with the same precaution as the "delete" action and provide a modal confirmation. If people think that this might be obstructive, then perhaps the dialog could have a "do not show this warning again" opt-out.

    With no follow up or movement is this still a valid task?
