24430	wildcard matching and reversing of URLs	Anshuman Aggarwal	nobody	"Example:
{{{
urlpatterns += patterns('',
	(r'^\w+/', include(admin.site.urls),),
)
}}}
All links generated by the admin site with this url show a 'x'
for example : `/x/<app_name>/<model_name>/`

instead of the result of the matching wild card 'ABC' from `ABC/<app_name>/<model_name>`

the problem is that reverse can not know what to put in the wild card without having the path or the request as context. 

Solution: add an optional parameter to reverse which is the request and the reverse can happen with the context of the request which is found acceptable in case the request parameter is not none.
