2578	"[patch] Using a non-field in ""admin.list_display_links"" raises misleading exception"	robbie <robbie@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"A model's ""admin.list_display"" will happily accept non-fields. If the first listed item is a non-field it is linked to the object change page, as a field would be. However, if a non-field is listed in ""admin.list_display_links"" a misleading exception is raised.

ex: ""admin.list_filter"" refers to 'example', which isn't a field.

This message is obviously incorrect (referring to ""admin.list_filter"", not ""admin.list_display_links""), and the check itself seems redundant.

The valid field check can seemingly be removed; at worst, the exception message should be altered actually refer to ""admin.list_display_links""."	defect	closed	contrib.admin	dev	major	fixed		cmlenz@…	Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
