 ==== Probable cause ====
 
-You may have forgotten to create a {{{__str__()}}} function for your model. Django calls {{{__str__()}}} to find out how to display objects in the admin interface. An alternate cause is the string you return from {{{__str__()}}} includes brackets (an therefore looks like an html tag), and is cleaned up by the {{{strip_tags}}} template filter, resulting in blank entries.

-Add a correct {{{__str__()}}} function (without brackets in the output) to all your models. Make it a habit so it becomes automatic.
