The default “delete selected” admin action in Django

Question

How can I remove or change the verbose name of the default admin action \"delete selected X item\" in the Django admin panel?

Answer 1

For globally changing delete_selected's short_description Dominic Rodger's answer seems best.

However for changing the short_description on the admin for a single model I think this alternative to Stéphane's answer is better:

def get_actions(self, request):
    actions = super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_actions(request)
    actions['delete_selected'][0].short_description = "Delete Selected"
    return actions
