23813	Add checks for common URLpattern errors	Julian Wachholz	Julian Wachholz	"The system checks framework can be expanded to help less experienced users help with common mistakes. One source of those is the urlpatterns we have to configure. It would be nice to have checks in place that verify the validity and sanity of urls.

One particular example that comes to mind (from my own experience):

{{{
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^my_app/$', include('my_app')),
]
}}}

This would trigger a warning that the trailing '$' in this regular expression is most likely not intended. :-)
  
  
Please do suggest any additional checks that could be added as well."	New feature	closed	Core (System checks)	dev	Normal	fixed		alasdair@…	Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
