Object tools moved out of content block

[Fabian Braun]

In Django 5.2 the admin's object-tools block has been moved outside of the content block in django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base.html as part of ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/19032 fixing a layout issue.

Before Django 5.2:

    ...
    {% block content_title %}{% if title %}<h1>{{ title }}</h1>{% endif %}{% endblock %}
    {% block content_subtitle %}{% if subtitle %}<h2>{{ subtitle }}</h2>{% endif %}{% endblock %}
    {% block content %}
        {% block object-tools %}{% endblock %}
        {{ content }}
    {% endblock %}
    ...

Since Django 5.2:

    ...
    {% block content_title %}{% if title %}<h1>{{ title }}</h1>{% endif %}{% endblock %}
    {% block object-tools %}{% endblock %}
    {% block content_subtitle %}{% if subtitle %}<h2>{{ subtitle }}</h2>{% endif %}{% endblock %}
    {% block content %}
        {{ content }}
    {% endblock %}
    ...

This is a breaking change:

• Templates that overwrite the content block and contain an object-tools block will have the object tools rendered twice (for example: django-filer)
• Templates that overwrite the content block and do not contain an object-tools block will have the default object-tools block rendered instead of none. This can lead to exceptions and server errors 500.

The change is not documented, nor am I aware that it is intended.
