Improving clarity of what object_name means in get_template_names() or SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin

[nikunj.sg@…]

In the third bullet of ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/class-based-views/mixins-single-object/#django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin.get_template_names, it would be clearer if you changed object_name to object_model name or model_name since objects do not have names

Hi,

I agree, model_name would probably be a better name (this is the actual name of the attribute that the code uses).
For completeness' sake, you should probably also alter the docstring of django.views.generic.base.SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin.get_template_names.

There's also a mention of object_name in the documentation for MultipleObjectMixin [1] which should be changed.

Thanks.

There's still some mentions of model_name in the docs.

The following command will show you where:

git grep -E "[^_]object_name" docs/
