Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A user tried to delete a group of permissions on the authorizations tab of a collection. They pressed the "Delete this collection" button instead of the "Delete selected" button and clicked through without realizing their error. There is no further confirmation to delete a collection of hundreds of items besides those two buttons (from the authorizations page, from the collection/community page it's three buttons).

Describe the solution you'd like

A field that requires a user to type in a phrase like "DELETE THIS COLLECTION/COMMUNITY" before the collection/community is actually deleted. Currently, only a few button clicks are required to delete communities/collections.

Describe alternatives or workarounds you've considered

Although this has only happened once in the past decade of using the platform, and it can be restored, it's potential impact has us considering how to prevent it. Users with certain permissions will always have this as an option, and therefore there's no workaround that we can devise ourselves.

Additional information

If possible, allow super admins to customize the phrase that has to be typed in the field before deletion is approved.
