This page is a stub for collecting ideas and proposals for design-related changes to Django, specifically in the admin interface. Whenever possible, try to explain the practical benefits or a real-world use case for any proposals.

Quick Hits

Small, focused changes that require some design work, but can be implemented within the existing admin design.

Collapse filters in changelist sidebar

Filter options take of a lot of vertical space in the changelist sidebar. This makes it difficult to use fields with lots of options as filters, or to use more than a few fields as filters. This could be solved by adding an option to display filters with more than a specified number of options as a select element instead of in a list. (WM)

Big Ideas

Larger proposals that would require major changes to the current admin design, but could be considered for integration in an overall redesign.
