When using the django admin as a means of moderating reviews on a site, the obvious choice was to use admin actions and do everything from a single screen. The I stumbled across was that after the actions were peformed, the app redirected to the change list without any filters. This meant that filtering on un-moderated reviews was lost as soon as a change was made.

It turns out that the solution is pretty simple, you just put a redirect to request.get_full_path() at the end of the admin action. I think this should be the default behaviour, but the fix is simple nonetheless.

def accept_selected(self, request, queryset):
    n = queryset.count()
        
    for review in queryset:
        review.accept()
        self.message_user(request, _("Successfully accepted %(count)d %(items)s.") % {
                "count": n, "items": model_ngettext(self.opts, n)
            })
        # the next line is the one you'll be interested in
        return HttpResponseRedirect(request.get_full_path())            
    accept_selected.short_description = "Accept Selected Reviews"

The indentation for line 11 is probably wrong.
