Description
If you click the 'Delete Permanently' link for a page/post that's in the trash, there isn't a final confirmation asking if you're sure you want to proceed with the action. This makes it terribly easy to accidentally click or tap on a Delete Permanently link when you don't intend to. A basic JavaScript confirm() would seem like an easy enough final check to prevent this.

I'm slightly torn here. The fact that there is a catch by putting into trash makes having a step less important. You are in the trash and confirming by clicking there. In theory to get to Trash isn't an accident, although yes someone could browse to there.
At this point, I'd probably vote against having a confirm message as you are already confirming by being in trash. What I would be, is open to any user evidence this happens though as an accident. If we get enough evidence we should change it.
