{{{
ImproperlyConfigured: The included urlconf %s doesn't have any patterns in
it.
}}}
Uninformative foremost as '''%s''' is top-level urls (problem usually in
included urls).
Caused by using '''reverse''' rather than '''reverse_lazy''' in some view.
No feedback whatsoever is given as to:
- that the error is caused in view rather than url
- which view this might be, or even which app it is in
'''Context:''' You get this error starting the developer server. The error
is cached (#11712) and fixing it doesn't make the error go away adding to
the confusion.[[BR]]
'''Suggestion:''' At least more specificity as to where the error lies.

Appears be reproducible by adding to any view:
{{{
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
class DetailView(generic.DetailView):
...
attr = reverse('anything')
}}}
