Contextual Warning Box for use of Make Template Button

When users are given edit permission for a design that includes defects, jobs or inspections, they then have the power to use the 'Make Template' Button. It is very easy to accidentally select this when choosing one of the other nearby buttons. See attached image.

It would be very useful if a contextually 'warning box' or 'type message confirmation' box (similar to that when doing bulk edits) was to box appear once selected to ensure users are actively using the function. This will give another oppotunity to avoid accidents, because once clicked there's no confirmation. So it is very easy to move something to the template collection without meaning to and jobs can accidentally get lost in the system.

I'm sure that this recommendation, could be easily applied to other buttons in the system and would be gratefully received by the wide Alloy user group.
