Hi Nick, As for me it is responsibility of the developer to define view function. There is only one mandatory argument 'request'. All other are based on the logic of view function and url patterns.
Say for view function that operates with entity might be natural to add 'id' as a second parameter. At the same time for view function that shows blog might be natural to get 'year' as a second parameter. And so on. I hope that helps. Regards, Constantine C.
