24439	make_object_list attribute mis-used in GCBV Documentation	jambonrose	nobody	"The attribute `make_object_list` is defined in `BaseYearArchiveView`, [https://github.com/django/django/blob/fde4857fb83101d27ae4cb3552a6a6cf20d3d8ce/django/views/generic/dates.py#L445 on line 445 of `django/views/generic/dates.py`].



The only class to inherit from `BaseYearArchiveView` is `YearArchiveView` ([https://github.com/django/django/blob/fde4857fb83101d27ae4cb3552a6a6cf20d3d8ce/django/views/generic/dates.py#L485 on line 485 of the same file]). Therefore, the only two classes where the `make_object_list` are `BaseYearArchiveView` and `YearArchiveView`.

However, in addition to the two classes above, [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/class-based-views/generic-date-based/ the reference documentation] uses the `make_object_list` attribute on examples of:

* `MonthArchiveView`
* `WeekArchiveView`
* `DayArchiveView`
* `TodayArchiveView`

In these instances, the attribute will have no effect, but is misleading, and should be removed."	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.7	Normal	fixed	generic class-based-views		Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	1	0
