In the admin page, there are parts where the model's `__str__` value is
used, providing links that allow navigation to the object when the value
is clicked.
However, when `__str__` is blank, while it’s not an issue for the value to
appear as blank, the `<a>` tag's `innerHTML` being empty prevents the
layout from being displayed on the screen, and it also cannot function as
a link.

While it’s very rare for a user to assign a blank value to `__str__`, I
still believe that it should at least function as a link.
Just like with fields, when the value is blank, a default value such as
"-" should be used to ensure that it can at least function as a link.
