Description

On ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#including-other-urlconfs (found with git grep -IF \\w -- docs/), slugs are matched using \w+, like so:

    url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/history/$', views.history),
    url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/edit/$', views.edit),
    url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/discuss/$', views.discuss),
    url(r'^(?P<page_slug>\w+)-(?P<page_id>\w+)/permissions/$', views.permissions),

This is incorrect, since slugs can also contain dashes (-) so [\w-]+ should be used instead.
