Hi guys I must say I hit this issue a few months ago (I have more than one admin app living side by side). It was confusing, when reversing a URL name, whether to change 'admin' in a string like this `'admin:%s_%s_change'`, or use `current_app=self.admin_site.name`.
Since I don't like hardcoded strings and I (or someone using my code) would probably get confused over this at a later point, I created a utility function that perhaps may be useful for someone else and/or to clarify the problem: def get_admin_view_url_name(model, view, admin_site=None): admin_site = admin_site or 'admin' # TODO: replace `module_name` with `model_name` when using Django 1.6 return '%s:%s_%s_%s' % ( admin_site, model._meta.app_label, model._meta.module_name, view) Just my 2 cents.
