But sometimes It is very painful to delete whole list of sessions ( <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/http/sessions/#using-database-backed-sessions> database-backed sessions) (4mlo) or Django admin logs (66mlo).

Often those objects are just internal relations the user never heard of, and this may be unsettling. I would argue that if the list of objects is "overwhelming" / "unsettling", then this is perhaps an indicator that the admin interface is being used beyond its intended scope. The admin is designed for site administrators, mostly developers. Yes, most projects seem to push it beyond that, but we can't make it something for all people. Collapsing the list of to-be-deleted objects could also lead to cases of accidental removal of related objects. I think it's better to err on the side of overwhelming than hiding information.

On the one side - you can override this delete_confirmation.html and delete_selected_confirmation.html I do it since dj 1.4 On the other side I am agree with Jacob - it can be in Django by default. – We can add “collapsed” div to wrap <ul> with every objects list, or we can add details/summary for that.

If the object to be deleted contains many relations, the user is overwhelmed with a list of other objects to be deleted together with the current object. Often those objects are just internal relations the user never heard of, and this may be unsettling. I therefore propose to hide those related objects behind a link named "Show related object to delete" If the user clicks on that link, the complete list of objects to be deleted is expanded into the confirmation page. This also prevents having to scroll down to the end of a potentially very long page in order to confirm the deletion by clicking on "Yes I'm sure". – Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
