incorrect template code for django.contrib.auth.views.login

[sjl@…]

URL: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.views.login

The docs contain example code with the following content

{% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %}

This doesn't work. It should be inserted without the quotes instead, like so

{% url django.contrib.auth.views.login %}

You are likely reading development version documentation while using a version of django <= 1.4.

The old behaviour of the url template tag will be officially deprecated in django 1.5 following the deprecation process described ​in the django 1.3 release note.

You should convert your templates to use the new behaviour by adding the {% load url from future %} statement at the top of then.

Thanks for reporting anyway.
