Fixed #11022: documented that the admin bulk delete action calls `QuerySet.delete()`, not `Model.delete()`. Thanks, Idan Gazit.

@ -23,7 +23,20 @@ models. For example, here's the user module from Django's built-in
:mod:`django.contrib.auth` app:
.. image:: _images/user_actions.png
.. warning::
The "delete selected objects" action uses :meth:`QuerySet.delete()
<django.db.models.QuerySet.delete>` for efficiency reasons, which has an
important caveat: your model's ``delete()`` method will not be called.
If you wish to override this behavior, simply write a custom action which
accomplishes deletion in your preferred manner -- for example, by calling
``Model.delete()`` for each of the selected items.
For more background on bulk deletion, see the documentation on :ref:`object
deletion <topics-db-queries-delete>`.
Read on to find out how to add your own actions to this list.
