#15571: AdminSite index and app_index methods could include the model_admin in
the
model_dict

When sub-classing the "index.html" template for the admin interface, I
wanted to show or hide some models (without disabling them, ie: still
reachable in the admin as usual).
The model_dict doesn't contain the model_admin, so I needed to subclass
the index method just to add this line:
{{{
model_dict = {
'name': capfirst(model._meta.verbose_name_plural),
'admin_url': mark_safe('%s/%s/' % (app_label,
model.__name__.lower())),
'perms': perms,
'model_admin': model_admin, # added just this line
}
}}}
Then I can add some attribute "index_hide" to my ModelAdmin, and use it in
my subclassed index.html to decide what to show.
Would it be a good idea to add this line to the admin, even if there is no
use in the original template?
I believe it reflect some kind of common use-case. The need to access the
model_admin within the index template seems natural to me.
