 Table names
 ===========
 
+To save you time, Django automatically derives the name of the database table
+from the name of your model class and the app that contains it. A model's
+database table name is constructed by joining the model's "app label" -- the
+name you used in ``manage.py startapp`` -- to the model's class name, with an
+underscore between them.
+
+For example, if you have an app ``bookstore`` (as created by
+``manage.py startapp bookstore``), a model defined as ``class Book`` will have
+a database table named ``bookstore_book``.
+
+To override the database table name, use the ``db_table`` parameter in
+``class Meta``.
+
 Automatic primary key fields
 ============================
 
+By default, Django gives each model the following field::
+
+    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
+
+This is an auto-incrementing primary key.
+
+If you'd like to specify a custom primary key, just specify ``primary_key=True``
+on one of your fields. If Django sees you've explicitly set ``primary_key``, it
+won't add the automatic ``id`` column.
+
+Each model requires exactly one field to have ``primary_key=True``.
 
 Admin options

 ``fields``
-    A list of fieldsets to display on the admin page.  Each fieldset is a 2-tuple:
-    ``(name, field_options)``.  The ``name`` is a string to name the field set,
-    and ``field_options`` is a dictionary of information about the fields to be
-    displayed in that fieldset. This dictionary has the following keys:
+----------
 
-        ``fields``
-            A tuple of field names to display in this fieldset. To display
-            multiple fields on the same line, wrap those fields in their
-            own tuple.
+Set ``fields`` to control the layout of admin "add" and "change" pages.
 
-            This key is required in the dictionary.
+``fields`` is a list of two-tuples, in which each two-tuple represents a
+``<fieldset>`` on the admin form page. (A ``<fieldset>`` is a "section" of the
+form.)
 
-        ``classes``
-            Extra CSS classes to apply to the fieldset. This is a simple
-            string. You can apply multiple classes by separating them with
-            spaces.
+The two-tuples are in the format ``(name, field_options)``, where ``name`` is a
+string representing the title of the fieldset and ``field_options`` is a
+dictionary of information about the fieldset, including a list of fields to be
+displayed in it.
 
-            Two useful classes defined by the default stylesheet are

-    results in an admin that looks like:
+If ``fields`` isn't given, Django will default to displaying each field that
+isn't an ``AutoField`` and has ``editable=True``, in a single fieldset, in
+the same order as the fields are defined in the model.

+The ``field_options`` dictionary can have the following keys::
 
-    If ``fields`` isn't given Django will default to displaying each field that
-    isn't an ``AutoField`` and has ``editable=True``, in a single fieldset, in
-    the same order as the fields are defined in the model.
+``fields``
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A tuple of field names to display in this fieldset. This key is required.
+
+Example::
+
+    {
+    'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'address', 'city', 'state'),
+    }
+
+To display multiple fields on the same line, wrap those fields in their own
+tuple. In this example, the ``first_name`` and ``last_name`` fields will
+display on the same line::
+
+    {
+    'fields': (('first_name', 'last_name'), 'address', 'city', 'state'),
+    }
+
+``classes``
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A string containing extra CSS classes to apply to the fieldset.
+
+Example::
+
+    {
+    'classes': 'wide',
+    }
+
+Apply multiple classes by separating them with spaces. Example::
+
+    {
+    'classes': 'wide extrapretty',
+    }
+
+Two useful classes defined by the default admin-site stylesheet are
+``collapse`` and ``wide``. Fieldsets with the ``collapse`` style will be
+initially collapsed in the admin and replaced with a small "click to expand"
+link. Fieldsets with the ``wide`` style will be given extra horizontal space.
+
+``description``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A string of optional extra text to be displayed at the top of each fieldset,
+under the heading of the fieldset. It's used verbatim, so you can use any HTML
+and you must escape any special HTML characters (such as ampersands) yourself.
 
 ``js``
-    A list of strings representing URLs of JavaScript files to link into the
-    admin screen. This can be used to tweak a given type of admin page in JS or
-    to provide "quick links" to fill in default values for certain fields.
+------
+
+A list of strings representing URLs of JavaScript files to link into the admin
+screen via ``<script src="">`` tags. This can be used to tweak a given type of
+admin page in JavaScript or to provide "quick links" to fill in default values
+for certain fields.
 
 ``list_display``
-    List of fields to display on the list page in the admin.
+----------------
 
-    There are a few special cases that do other things besides displaying the
-    contents of the given fields:
+Set ``list_display`` to control which fields are displayed on the change list
+page of the admin.
 
-        * If the field given is a ``ForeignKey``, the ``repr()`` of the related
-          object will be displayed.
+Example::
 
-        * ``ManyToManyField`` fields aren't supported, because that would
-          entail executing a separate SQL statement for each row in the table.
+    list_display = ('first_name', 'last_name')
 
-        * If the field is a ``BooleanField``, a "on" or "off" icon will
-          be displayed instead of ``True`` or ``False``.
+If you don't set ``list_display``, the admin site will display a single column
+that displays the ``__str__()`` representation of each object.
 
-        * If the field name is a method of the model, it'll be called, and the
-          output will be displayed. This method should have a
-          ``short_description`` function attribute, for use as the header for
-          the field.
+A few special cases to note about ``list_display``:
 
-        * Use the string ``"__str__"`` to output the representation of the
-          object, according to your model's ``__str__()`` function. If you
-          don't define ``list_display``, Django will use the ``__str__`` by
-          default.
+    * If the field is a ``ForeignKey``, Django will display the ``__str__()``
+      of the related object.
 
-    See the example below.
+    * ``ManyToManyField`` fields aren't supported, because that would entail
+        executing a separate SQL statement for each row in the table.
+
+    * If the field is a ``BooleanField``, Django will display a pretty "on" or
+      "off" icon instead of ``True`` or ``False``.
+
+    * If the string given is a method of the model, Django will call it and
+      display the output. This method should have a ``short_description``
+      function attribute, for use as the header for the field.
+
+      Here's a full example model::
+
+          class Person(models.Model):
+              name = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
+              birthday = models.DateField()
+
+              class Admin:
+                  list_display = ('name', 'decade_born_in')
+
+              def decade_born_in(self):
+                  return self.birthday.strftime('%Y')[:3] + "0's"
+              decade_born_in.short_description = 'Birth decade'
 
 ``list_filter``
-    List of fields to filter by. Each field should either be a ``BooleanField``
-    or else a field with a ``ManyToOne`` relation.
+---------------
 
-    Here's an example of how ``list_display`` and ``list_filter`` work (taken
-    from the ``auth.user`` model)::
+Set ``list_filter`` to activate filters in the right sidebar of the change list
+page of the admin. This should be a list of field names, and each specified
+field should be either a ``BooleanField``, ``DateField``, ``DateTimeField``
+or ``ForeignKey``.
 
-        class Admin:
-            #...
-            list_display = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_staff')
-            list_filter = ('is_staff', 'is_superuser')
+This example, taken from the ``django.contrib.auth.models.User`` model, shows
+how both ``list_display`` and ``list_filter`` work::
 
-    The above code results in an admin that looks like this:
+    class Admin:
+        list_display = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_staff')
+        list_filter = ('is_staff', 'is_superuser')
 
-        .. image:: http://media.djangoproject.com/img/doc/users_changelist.png
+The above code results in an admin change list page that looks like this:
 
-    (This example also has ``search_fields`` defined; see below).
+    .. image:: http://media.djangoproject.com/img/doc/users_changelist.png
+
+(This example also has ``search_fields`` defined. See below.)
 
 ``list_select_related``
-    Either ``True`` or ``False``. Default is ``False``. If ``True``, the admin
-    change list page will use the ``select_related`` database-API parameter in
-    its query that retrieves the list of items.
+-----------------------
 
-    Note that Django will use ``select_related``, regardless of this setting,
-    if one of the ``list_display`` fields is a ``ForeignKey``.
+Set ``list_select_related`` to tell Django to use ``select_related()`` in
+retrieving the list of objects on the admin change list page. This can save you
+a bunch of database queries.
+
+The value should be either ``True`` or ``False``. Default is ``False``.
+
+Note that Django will use ``select_related()``, regardless of this setting,
+if one of the ``list_display`` fields is a ``ForeignKey``.
+
+For more on ``select_related()``, see `the select_related() docs`_.
+
+.. _the select_related() docs: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db_api/#select-related
 
 ``ordering``
-    A list or tuple (see the `Meta options`_, above) that gives a
-    different ordering for the admin change list. If this isn't given, the
-    model's default ordering will be used.
+------------
+
+Set ``ordering`` to specify how objects on the admin change list page should be
+ordered. This should be a list or tuple in the same format as a model's
+``ordering`` parameter.
+
+If this isn't provided, the Django admin will use the model's default ordering.
 
 ``save_as``
-    Enables a "save as" feature on object pages.  Normally, objects have three
-    save options: "Save", "Save and continue editing" and "Save and add
-    another". If ``save_as`` is ``True``, "Save and add another" will be
-    replaced by a "Save as" button.
+-----------
 
-    "Save as" means the object will be saved as a new object (with a new ID),
-    rather than the old object.
+Set ``save_as`` to enable a "save as" feature on admin change forms.
+
+Normally, objects have three save options: "Save", "Save and continue editing"
+and "Save and add another". If ``save_as`` is ``True``, "Save and add another"
+will be replaced by a "Save as" button.
+
+"Save as" means the object will be saved as a new object (with a new ID),
+rather than the old object.
+
+By default, ``save_as`` is set to ``False``.
 
 ``save_on_top``
-    If this option is ``True``, object pages will have the save buttons across
-    the top as well as at the bottom of the page.
+---------------
+
+Set ``save_on_top`` to add save buttons across the top of your admin change
+forms.
+
+Normally, the save buttons appear only at the bottom of the forms. If you set
+``save_on_top``, the buttons will appear both on the top and the bottom.
+
+By default, ``save_on_top`` is set to ``False``.
 
 ``search_fields``
-    A list of field names to provide a text search for. These fields should,
-    obviously, be some kind of text field, such as ``CharField`` or
-    ``TextField``.
+-----------------
+
+Set ``search_fields`` to enable a search box on the admin change list page.
+This should be set to a list of field names that will be searched whenever
+somebody submits a search query in that text box.
+
+These fields should be some kind of text field, such as ``CharField`` or
+``TextField``.
+
+When somebody does a search in the admin search box, Django splits the search
+query into words and returns all objects that contain each of the words, case
+insensitive, where each word must be in at least one of ``search_fields``. For
+example, if ``search_fields`` is set to ``['first_name', 'last_name']`` and a
+user searches for ``john lennon``, Django will do the equivalent of this SQL
+``WHERE`` clause::
+
+    WHERE (first_name ILIKE '%john%' OR last_name ILIKE '%john%')
+    AND (first_name ILIKE '%lennon%' OR last_name ILIKE '%lennon%')

 Similarly, you can add methods to the object's manipulators by defining methods
