The main issue I see with this solution is that it's the same form which is
used for diffs. While I don't think many people link to deletion pages, people
often link to diff pages, and not having the parameters in the URL to
copy-paste (even if GET is supported) would IMHO be an even bigger problem than
the 414 error (which only affects users with sysop / oversight rights, under
unusual circumstances). And what is more, this would break the navigation in
the history, since modern browsers ask the user for the POST data to be sent
again.

Having two forms (one for diffs and one for deletion) would make sense (as
there are separate submit buttons and unrelated input forms), and we could have
the diff form using GET and the deletion form using POST. Unfortunately, I
don't think it's possible to interweave forms in HTML…

Thanks!
