First of all, you don't need to check request.method == 'POST' twice; you don't need to check action here. Finally, you can use user messages to add and display confirmations: in view: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#messages
Put messages in base template and you can see them even after redirect.
