+1 on removing it only as part of a larger admin improve/overhaul move. Is there a place where plans and ideas for such a move are discussed / aggregated? Is there any current work being done in that direction? On Mon, 23 May 2011 21:45:23 +0300, Idan Gazit wrote: I agree that it's redundan

@dmoisset has in my opinion proposed the best solution. Remove the link (without a setting) and give the ability to add it back if anyone really need it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group. To post to this group, send email to

Luke, I completely agree on the need for change and personally +1 this as it is a completely confusing historical annoyance. However, as in all deprecation, I would suggest that we start with a global setting that allows these links to be hidden on an installation by installation basis and the de

I agree that it's redundant and unnecessary, but absent a particular *need* to remove it, I'd say leave it until the admin gets an overall refresh. While having two links may be marginally confusing for new users, _removing_ an existing bit of functionality is akin to a breaking change, IMO. It'

Proposal: remove "Change" links on admin index page

2011-05-23 Thread Luke Plant
