#23597 closed Bug (fixed)

docs: specifying SingleObjectMixin.model uses default manager, not necessarily objects

Description

This is a tiny thing I came across. The docs for ​SingleObjectMixin.model and ​MultipleObjectMixin.model both say:

The model that this view will display data for. Specifying model = Foo is effectively the same as specifying queryset = Foo.objects.all().

But peeking at the code, this isn't quite true -- in both cases (​here and ​here), the default manager is used, which is not necessarily objects.

Is it worth making this more precise? The docs don't mention default managers very often.
