Please add the most annoying feature in MediaWiki (CAPTCHA) to the place it should be - Nuke.
Administrators can accidentally cause massive damage (as already happened too many times), and it is important to let them confirm in a more than safe way that they are sure

CAPTCHA isn't meant to be "Are you sure". It's meant to be "Are you a human". If you want a bigger confirmation step, please ask for something different (like typing the username of the user to nuke again).

Ask for confirmation when nuking
I added a patch which makes Nuke asks for confirmation. CAPTCHA would be too much as pointed out by @Jackmcbarn
@Ladsgroup, please, add the number of deleted pages into the confirmation message. The problem is almost always when somebody wants to delete five pages but deletes five hundred. Thank you.
