Hi

I want to add a link to the change\_list page of any models.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/djangoproject/original/2X/d/d9abd58deeeda49a335ed36880f0100614737c29.png)

I try to do simply on layout.html ,  
the below is the menu part in html.  
it did’t work

- Additional Costs

but it workedf for admin page

- Manage All Admin

```auto
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li><a href="{% url 'home' %}">Home</a></li>
                <li><a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">Manage All Admin</a></li>
                <li class="dropdown">
                    <a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Manage Cost
                        <span class="caret"></span></a>
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                        <li><a href="{% url 'admin:masteradditionalcost_changelist' %}">Additional Costs</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">Fixed Costs</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">Master Costs</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="{% url 'list_error' %}">Error</a></li>
{# <li><a href="{% url 'list_transaction' %}">Transaction</a></li>#}

            </ul>
            {% include 'app/loginpartial.html' %}
        </div>

```

but error occurred like this.

I supposed I lacked some essential procedures to refer URL in the admin.  
maybe in url.py or load something first in layout,html

How to add link admin?

From what I can gather from a relatively quick glance at the admin source code, it appears that the urls are formatted as appname\_modelname\_changelist. I’d suggest you try  
`{% url 'admin:app_masteradditionalcost_changelist' %}`
