Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

This is expected behavior, not a bug. The guard you are hitting is intentional — it protects against a class of mistakes that used to cause data loss.

If you need the other behavior, there is a documented filter you can hook to override it per site.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.
