NoReverseMatch at /admin/logout/

[Robert Palmer]

New project running Django 4.1.7 and when I click logout from the admin interface I get NoReverseMatch error.

The admin path is being added to the root urls file like this:

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
...
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
...
]

It looks like all of the other route paths are using a wrap() function except for the login path. (​https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/admin/sites.py#L268)

Full error:

Thanks for the report, however the admin works for me. If you're having trouble understanding how Django works, see TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels for ways to get help.
