12282	Admin Actions: No Way to Select All	Paul Smith	Jannis Leidel	"Admin actions are only performed on items that have been selected in the change list. Users can only perform actions on items that actually appear on the page - items that do not appear in the list because of pagination can't be selected for actions. The Admin does a useful sanity check, and does not put a ""Show all"" link on the change list when the number of items is above a sane threshold (defined by MAX_SHOW_ALL_ALLOWED, which defaults to 200).

Filters help, and it's possible to raise the MAX_SHOW_ALL_ALLOWED value, but it's still a common - and valid - case that the user may want to perform an action on a set of items larger than a practical MAX_SHOW_ALL_ALLOWED value. And it's tedious to go through multiple pages of items performing actions on each page.

I propose adding something like what happens in GMail. When you've selected all the items on a page, a new link appears that says, ""All 50 items on this page are selected. <link>Select all</link> 439 items in Whatever"".
