Ask to delete lists
When you delete a list or use the [delete (all) of list] block by double clicking it, the program should ask: Are you sure? Either that or there should be an option to un-delete the list.
Sometimes when you are selecting a list to be deleted the mouse pointer can slip and you end up accidentally deleting another list. This can have disastrous results if you didn't back up the list.
This isn't entirely caused by human error, the options on the drop down "Delete list" menu are much too close together, and sometimes [delete (all) of list] activates because you missed and clicked the block instead of the tiny little area where the drop down menu is.
Edit: Lists cannot be undeleted in the current version of Scratch.
Thou shalt vote for this idea on Scratch Suggestions.

It works with scripts, but not lists. Lists cannot be undeleted. You can try it yourself if you want.

Re: Ask to delete lists
Yeah. In the PMing project that I'm planning on making, imagine what'd happen if I deleted the list that stored the users. D:

For some odd reason, it won't let me post this idea on Scratch Suggestions. It always says "Sorry, we couldn't submit your request."
Can someone go and post this idea on Scratch Suggestions?
Undelete lists
Description: Sometimes you delete a list by mistake and then it is impossible to recover the list. This can have disastrous results if you haven't been backing up your lists.
There should be an option to recover a lost list, similar to the way sprites and scripts can be recovered.

Well, that's strange. It must have been submitted, I failed to notice, and I kept trying to submit it again. My bad.

Re: Ask to delete lists
Support!
Right now, I'm making a 1s1s1c game, and I'm storing the levels in lists. It's 480x360 and it took me an hour to make the scripts, another hour to have it be scanned, and another two hours to save. This is completely needed.
