list_display method attributes description links

[eliasvc]

Hello,

This is a piece of code that first describe the use of method attributes in callback functions used in list_display on Django tutorial, page two ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02/

class Question(models.Model):
    # ...
    def was_published_recently(self):
        return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)
    was_published_recently.admin_order_field = 'pub_date'
    was_published_recently.boolean = True
    was_published_recently.short_description = 'Published recently?'

The problem is none of those method attribute definitions take you somewhere where it describes what they do. It can be very confusing for a person starting out. In fact, it would be awesome if there was some kind of index of method attributes one can use since their descriptions on the admin page are scattered.

The simplest solution is to just add a link after this along the lines of:

For more information on these method properties, see list_options_

linking to the Admin.list_options doco. There's an earlier link where it's mentioned the first time, but it doesn't hurt to reinforce.
