Description
The Django admin template can be overridden and extended by the user. However, flexibility to customize the admin page can be increased by putting larger chunks of code inside a {% block ... %}... {% endblock %}. This will be useful as it will allow the user to completely rewrite an entire segment of the page without having to override smaller elements or the entire template.
For example, the user can overwrite the entire navbar if the header was put inside {% block header %} simply by extending the template.
