Triaged #36703 (Undocumented change of SetPasswordForm in django 5.1 release notes) – Django - Undocumented change of SetPasswordForm in django 5.1 release notes (invalid) #36706 (Select all but one in admin) ...

We also fixed an unreleased regression in the urlize template filter–big thanks to Mehraz Hossain Rumman for testing the beta. (Are you the next tester to report a regression before 6.0 final?) Triaged #36707 (Prefetch related query throwing...

For instance, we could create a method in the admin:
