+Notes on pagination
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If ``paginate_by`` is specified, Django will paginate the results. You can
+specify the page number in the URL in one of two ways:
+
+    * Use the ``page`` parameter in the URLconf. For example, this is what
+      your URLconf might look like::
+
+        (r'^objects/page(?P<page>[0-9]+)/$', 'object_list', dict(info_dict))
+
+    * Pass the page number via the ``page`` query-string parameter. For
+      example, a URL would look like this:
+
+        /objects/?page=3
+
+In both cases, ``page`` is 1-based, not 0-based, so the first page would be
+represented as page ``1``.
