Change the edit summaries for batch deletions deletion summaries for associated redirects/talk pages to link to the deleted target/subject page (like [[WP:CSD#G8|G8]]: Redirect to deleted page [[Example]]), rather than the current plain text (like [[WP:CSD#G8|G8]]: Redirect to deleted page "Example"). This will make it noticeable in the deletion log when the other page has been recreated or undeleted, such that the batch-deleted redirect or talk page is no longer orphaned and could be undeleted.

changing <deleted page "' + apiobj.params.page + '"'> to <deleted page [[' + apiobj.params.page + ']]'> to show bluelink in logs if the other page is recreated/undeleted

This seems like a good idea and I don't see the need to limit this to the batchdelete module. For consistency, you might want to make the same change in speedy and deprod modules as well.

Oh, you're correct. I was under a misimpression that "batchdelete" just referred to deleting associated redirects and talk pages. I'm not the most code-savvy Wikipedian.
