Description

MultiLock

When someone locks multiple users using Special:MultiLock, message centralauth-admin-setstatus-success is shown. While it is useful to confirm that the status of users are really changed, it shouldn't be spammed (10 times if locked 10 users, 5 times if locked 5 users and that.).

Someone should change the settings so it will show the message (in that case, centralauth-admin-setstatus-success should support a PLURAL parameter) one time and not more than that.

Version: unspecified

Personally, I don't see this as a bug. I definitely don't see it as problematic and I actually find it useful to check that the process worked.

I agree that we don't need e.g. 150 identical messages clogging the entire screen. A summary of what happened (X successful, Y unsuccessful) should be enough IMHO.
