Lacking named groups in urlpatterns of admin causes NoReverseMatch

[liokmkoil@…]

As described in ​http://stackoverflow.com/q/13609600/165603

urlresolvers.reverse('admin:cards_card_change', args=[92])

could get the URL successfully, however the following cannot

urlresolvers.reverse('admin:cards_card_change', kwargs={'object_id':92})

The lacking of named groups ​in urlpattern causes the inconsistent behavior

        urlpatterns = patterns('',
            #...
            url(r'^(.+)/history/$',
                wrap(self.history_view),
                name='%s_%s_history' % info),
            url(r'^(.+)/delete/$',
                wrap(self.delete_view),
                name='%s_%s_delete' % info),
            url(r'^(.+)/$',
                wrap(self.change_view),
                name='%s_%s_change' % info),
        )

Both history_view, delete_view and change_view accept object_id, thus we could replace r'^(.+)...' to r'^(?P<object_id>.+)...' to fix the problem.

What do you mean with 'inconsistent behavior'? these three views have been documented as accepting positional arguments since 1.1. See the examples in the documentation sction you've linked from the StackOverfolw question: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/contrib/admin/#reversing-admin-urls . Please reopen if you can provide an actual use case because of which we'd need to change it now.
