33774	Where/how is the `application namespace` defined?	Michael	nobody	"Firstly the documentation is excellant, thank you. The generous usage of examples really makes the documentation much easier to understand.

A weak point (IMHO) in the documentation is, the links to explain what an `application namespace` is link to:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/http/urls/#term-application-namespace

Which states:

> This describes the name of the application that is being deployed. Every instance of a single application will have the same application namespace. For example, Django’s admin application has the somewhat predictable application namespace of 'admin'.

So reading this sentance, all I know is that there is this mythical creature called a `application namespace` lurking in my codebase somewhere. Does he live in an `apps.py` `AppConfig.name` or `AppConfig.label`, somewhere else ? Admin has the `application namespace` of `admin`. How was it defined, where was it defined? How do I get the `application namesspace` for another app?

To be honest I have learnt much more than what I could deduce from the name `application namespace`. Maybe I am missing the obvious here. This issue has tripped me up for years, I just try various strings until it works."	Uncategorized	closed	Documentation	4.0	Normal	duplicate	application namespace		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
