There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks, Miguel! While this is a step forward and better than the current solution, I feel, as a user, confused about being allowed to manually remove a block I can't manually add back, as the only way to add it is by adding more footnotes.
If this is the intended behavior (at least as a v1 for WP 6.3), it may be even better to let the users know how to add the footnotes block back.

I'll optimistically merge this, but remaining fully ready to revert! I fully agree with Héctor about induced user confusion, and we need to address the whole UX (and useful mechanisms we can tap into or add to core Gutenberg to improve said UX) as soon as possible. |

There are two scenarios:
Not many user would know what "Note that any footnotes in the content will persist after removing the block." means for them without any additional hints. A clear cut 'policy' would work best for the first version. |

@bph: thanks for your feedback. Yes, this is a bit broken, and ideally we'll fix elsewhere and maybe even revert this PR afterwards. |
|
Now with #52445 merged, this feels even more out of place. Being asked to confirm deletion when the footnotes block is in its empty state (i.e. no notes were found in the document) is just absurd: 
(FYI, the removal confirmation feature doesn't allow conditions such as "is this block in its placeholder state?", and I don't think it should just because of Footnotes.) I'm tempted to revert this one. |

What?
Context: #52176
This doesn't fix the parent issue but is a palliative.
Attempting to remove a Footnotes block triggers the
BlockRemovalWarningModal, informing the user and requiring their confirmation before proceeding with the removal.note: I myself am not sure this is the way to go, but the idea has been discussed, and this pull request should serve as the place to debate and experiment.
Why?
How?
Testing Instructions
In the Post Editor, add footnotes to some content, then try removing the Footnotes block.
