Description

In https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/http/urls/#example, the suggested regex for an article / numbers in a url is

r'^articles/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d+)/$'

But in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.permalink, it says

r'/archive/(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{1,2})/(?P<day>\d{1,2})/$'

In particular, the first expression allows only 05 for a month, the second 05 and 5, which leads to multiple urls for the same content. Additionally, the example get_absolute_url method wouldn't match the first expression (\d{2}) for dates with month or day below 10.

I first thought this is a "support issue", not a bug, so you may want to read my post on stackoverflow.com. It was recommended to me to submit bug report because of this inconsistency in the docs.

Rather minor, but why not.

Has patch: set

Patched the docs to not have any ambiguous date urls (so no d{1,2}).
