Comment:
Hi Patrick 👋 I think this ticket is a bit of a mix of a support request,
new feature request, and docs update request.
With support requests (how do I best achieve X with Django), I recommend
asking in the [https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/users/6 forum] because
you will have many more people who can help answer.
I think I would have either gone for solution 2 using a default for
activation_token (a bit like
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/http/urls/#specifying-
defaults-for-view-arguments what is documented here]) or used a query
string like `activate/?token=some-activation-token` and then I can access
token in the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/request-
response/#django.http.QueryDict QueryDict]
([https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/pagination/#using-
paginator-in-a-view-function example involving pagination]).
I believe we have this functionality already and so something like
`"/<int:some_id?>/"` would not be required.
Before we can discuss a docs update, you need to know what you would have
wanted to see. So I would encourage that you discuss this topic on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/users/6 forum], agree on an approach,
and then decide if the docs are clear enough or if there is an enhancement
available.
