The names of URLs in Django Admin are of the form:

"admin:<app_label>_<model_name>_change"

(admin is the namespace of the URLs)

So to create a link in a template to go to the “change” page for the User model, which is in the auth app:

<a href="{% url "admin:auth_user_change" user.pk %}">Edit user</a>

Assuming that user is a variable that’s a User object.

And if you wanted to link to the form for adding a new user, you’d use the “add” page instead of the “change” page, and you wouldn’t need user.pk:

<a href="{% url "admin:auth_user_add" %}">Add user</a>

You can also keep it simple and make a plain link without using {% url %}/reverse.

So long as you never change Django Admin’s URL :slight_smile:

Or if you do, just grep for the url and fix any links. It’s not like that’s hard. If you change the name of the admin in the path mapping, you’d have to grep for that and change it in all the places too. That seems roughly equally likely.

You could never use the url tag or reverse, for the same reason. I was trying to help someone by giving them the recommended, best practice answer.
