How model class "Name" becomes plural "Names" under Admin Page?

Question

In Django's tutorial, a models.py class is created named "Question" (singular). It is also registered to be included within the Admin Page using admin.site.register(Question) (singular)

But then under the Admin Page, it's listed as "Questions" (plural)

Is Django automatically renaming things under the Admin Page to be grammatically satisfying?

Answer 1

In the model definition of the Question you can control this by declaring the Meta class:

class Question(models.Model):
    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

    class Meta(object):
        verbose_name_plural = 'Questions'

You can find this here in the docs

As explained in the docs, 'If this isn’t given, Django will use verbose_name + "s".'
