AdminSite and templates hard-code the "admin" namespace in places

Description

It's documented that a custom AdminSite can specify a custom name, which will be used in the namespace for the URLs. Parts of the admin code factor this in, but other don't.

I have a a patch to cover two cases where it's hard-coded, but I don't have an immediate solution for the templates. The templates do such things as:

{% url 'admin:jsi18n' as jsi18nurl %}

What's really needed is something to prefix the site.name variable. I'd be happy to work on a fix, but would need some idea as to what direction you guys would prefer. A custom template tag that factors it in? Some sort of new parameter to url that allows the namespace to be set via a variable? The URL pre-computed and passed in to all admin site contexts?

This shouldn't be an issue.

As is explained here, namespaces come in two flavors -- application namespaces and instance namespaces. Rules for resolving namespaces are described here, but they don't require you to pass in the current site as the namespace -- you can use the application namespace, and the 'current_app' will be used to differentiate between instances.

Sorry - a little clarification:

It's entirely possible that there are cases where the namespace resolution isn't working correctly. However, this ticket doesn't describe such a case (or, at least, not in sufficient detail to reproduce), so I'm closing it on the basis that there's no prima facie need to do what you're describing.

If you can provide an specific case where lookup is failing, please reopen with details.
