How to make a confirmation on partition format before formatting?

[Sthu Deus <sthu.deus@gmail.com>]

Good day.

I ask for easy to fulfil advice on how to make a confirmation on partition
format before formatting itself using mkfs.ext3.

I would like to be asked something like, Please type, I want to destroy the
partition.

I can make a bash script that will eventually run a renamed mkfs.ext3 but on
update of the package the utility is in - it will be turned back.

Do You have an easy to follow advice?

Thank You for Your time.
