33910	Clearly explain where 'django.urls.reverse' gets its name	Daniel Wysocki	nobody	"As a newcomer to Django, I was a very confused where `django.urls.reverse` got its name.  The documentation starts with

{{{
reverse()

If you need to use something similar to the url template tag in your code, Django provides the following function:
}}}

which doesn't really explain what's being reversed here.

After thinking for a while, it seems the idea is that you're mapping the view name to its URL, whereas the ""default"" case is mapping a URL to its associated view.  This really needs to be stated clearly in the docs, as it's not very intuitive to a new user."	Uncategorized	closed	Documentation	4.1	Normal	invalid	documentation		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
