#21908 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Misleading documentation in ModelAdmin.get_inline_instances

Description

The documentation for this method seems a little sparse:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.get_inline_instances

It's not actually clear that you need to instantiate the inline classes in this manner:

return [inline(self.model, self.admin_site) for inline in self.inlines]

(Obviously, that is without filtering).

I'm happy to submit a documentation patch, if it is likely to be accepted.

I'm not sure if my patch is good enough. It's my first time to contribute to django :)

Your patch is close, however fyi it uses a single colon where a double-colon should be used. A double colon indicates that the next block is a code sample.
