Mixed-case views/templates names causes 404 on :view:/:template: directive.

​https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/admindocs/views.py#L168

Using a class based view,
class OrderSearch(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, ListView):

add a doc comment such as
:view:orders.views.Orders

causes a 404 when you click on the link in the docs

Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: ​http://localhost:8000/admin/doc/views/orders.views.orders/
Raised by: django.contrib.admindocs.views.ViewDetailView

I'm not sure exactly where orders becomes lowercase, but I thought it might have something to do with the _get_view_func

Thanks for the ticket. It was originally reported in the #27409 among other issues

"For views you can use generic class based views, in there by naming conventions can be capital letters. Class based views are classes and not methods and the naming of the view can be like BlogView or BlogEdit. But if generating link using the directives according to documentation it will not work since it will try to find view by name of blogview instead of BlogView. It will automatically put it to lowercase and may make it not working."

but I think it deserves a separate ticket.

Replying to Rahmat Faisal:

gonna look

Yeah if u have views for example

class About(Views):
...

and in the docs you write

:view:`app_label.views.About`

gonna change to app_label.views.about and return 404
