Description

As noted in this PR, the "Built-in views" page isn't very useful. We should expand this page into a proper reference guide for the functions in django.views, probably moving some content from topics/http/views.txt.

I totally Agree to your point. For new users view's functions need to be defined more practically for usage. I'm a newbie here, but I'd like to contribute to this fix. I'd be glad to help out and write the documentation part.

The error views are currently ordered by most commonly used, should we keep it that way or order them by status code instead? As in 400, 403, 404, 500.

comment:5 by Tim Graham, 11 years ago

I think the current order is okay, but I don't feel strongly about it. We are likely to replace them with something more generic anyway (see #22058).

comment:6 by JLinden, 11 years ago

Ok, the order stays as it is.

I've sent a PR with my changes at https://github.com/django/django/pull/2710
