Firstly the documentation is excellant, thank you. The generous usage of
examples really makes the documentation much easier to understand.
A weak point (IMHO) in the documentation is, the links to explain what an
`application namespace` is link to:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/http/urls/#term-application-
namespace
Which states:
> This describes the name of the application that is being deployed. Every
instance of a single application will have the same application namespace.
For example, Django’s admin application has the somewhat predictable
application namespace of 'admin'.
So reading this sentance, all I know is that there is this mythical
creature called a `application namespace` lurking in my codebase
somewhere. Does he live in an `apps.py` `AppConfig.name` or
`AppConfig.label`, somewhere else ? Admin has the `application namespace`
of `admin`. How was it defined, where was it defined? How do I get the
`application namesspace` for another app?
To be honest I have learnt much more than what I could deduce from the
name `application namespace`. Maybe I am missing the obvious here. This
issue has tripped me up for years, I just try various strings until it
works.
