When you have a lot of objects listed in the admin, like items in a shop,
it is hard to find the object after you created/updated it. Obviously
there is an option "Save and continue editing" but in practice it happens
that after saving users suddenly realize there are not finished yet.
For example: If i clicked an item in app shop in the middle of the items
list, or in search results, I have to find it manually or by using the
search-on-page in the browser after saving the object. This problem can
easily be solved by adding a link in the message to the object, which
appears on top of the page after creating/updating. The title is already
in there, so it should not be that hard to resolve the url to the admin
page.
Example message: The item "Vintage Star Trek action figure" was changed
successfully.
New message: The item "__Vintage Star Trek action figure__" was changed
successfully.
Of course there are some cases, like when the change page ({{ app_label
}}_{{ model_name }}_change) is not used or overriden or whatever the coder
did to break the url structure and not using the correct names anymore.
