URLs

------------------------------------------------+------------------------
On https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#including-
other-urlconfs (found with `git grep -IF \\w -- docs/`), slugs are matched
using `\w+`, like so:
{{{
url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/history/$', views.history),
url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/edit/$', views.edit),
url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/discuss/$', views.discuss),
url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/permissions/$',
views.permissions),
}}}
This is incorrect, since slugs can also contain dashes (`-`) so `[\w-]+`
should be used instead.
