Description
Several places in the docs, django.views.generic.detail.BaseDetailView is referenced, but it does not have hyperlinked documentation:
- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#detailview
- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/class-based-views/mixins/#more-than-just-html
I discovered this when I was trying to add a documentation link to it from django-downloadview: https://django-downloadview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/views/object.html#simple-example

Yes, OK, seems reasonable.
A nested definition at the bottom of the
DetailViewsection would be perfect. (Plus adding crosslinks where appropriate.)See the same for BaseListView lower down the page:
