What does get_absolute_url do and where and when do one use it?
Thank you for your answers.

“What” it does is described really well in the get_absolute_url docs.

“When” one uses it would be any situation where you want to define and reference a standard edit view for an object. The Django admin calls that method to determine a url for editing models.
