Confirmation Screen Guideline
1 Description
Confirmation screens (mostly used for delete actions) should use "ilConfirmationGUI" (Services/Utilities).
- First button should be the concrete action "Delete"
- Second button should be "Cancel"
- Additional content should not be shown (as happen in forum on thread deletion in 4.1)
Confirmation screens must be displayed, when content/data is going to be deleted without the possibility to restore it quickly afterwards. Examples:
- Moving items to the trash must show a confirmation screen, since the user cannot restore the object herself.
- Moving threads within forums does not need to show a confirmation screen, since the user can quickly undo the operation.

JF 15 Nov 2010: We highly appreciate the idea.
JL, 28 Mar 2012: most of the existing confirmation screens are now using ilConfirmationGUI. 2 older implementations have been removed. As this was part of the template-clean-up confirmation screens which use module-specific templates are unchanged - but this shouldn't be too many.
Situation in ILIAS 4.1
a) ILIAS-learningmodul - page: "cancel" and "confirm" are below the object.
b) Forum-thread: "confirm" and "cancel" are on the right side of the page. And: you see also the forum.
c) Delete wiki-page: "delete" and "cancel" are on the right side of the page.
d) Assessment and test (delete participants): interface is not correct.
