Comment (by joedolson):

 Every admin message needs to be handled separately. It is possible to add
 a role to all message globally, but it wouldn't be appropriate for every
 message, because they're handled in so many different ways.

 Note: this is not a failure of 4.1.3, because the page refreshes. There is
 no status change on the page; the entire page is the new context. That's
 not to say that this can't be better, but by the letter of the criteria,
 there is no failure here.

 4.1.3 is specifically about changes in content without a change of
 context; this is not very obvious in the WCAG criteria, but it's part of
 the definition of "status message", which does not apply to messages
 delivered in a change of context.

 status-message
