How do I create users without having to edit password hashes?
-------------------------------------------------------------
-We don't recommend you create users via the admin interface, because at the
-moment it requires you to edit password hashes manually. (Passwords are hashed

+Passing extra options to ``include()``
+--------------------------------------
+
+**New in the Django development version.**
+
+Similarly, you can pass extra options to ``include()``. When you pass extra
+options to ``include()``, *each* line in the included URLconf will be passed
+the extra options.
+
+For example, these two URLconf sets are functionally identical:
+
+Set one::
+
+ # main.py
+ urlpatterns = patterns('',
+ (r'^blog/', include('inner'), {'blogid': 3}),
+ )
+
+ # inner.py
+ urlpatterns = patterns('',
+ (r'^archive/$', 'mysite.views.archive'),
+ (r'^about/$', 'mysite.views.about'),
+ )
+
+Set two::
+
+ # main.py
+ urlpatterns = patterns('',
+ (r'^blog/', include('inner')),
+ )
+
+ # inner.py
+ urlpatterns = patterns('',
+ (r'^archive/$', 'mysite.views.archive', {'blogid': 3}),
+ (r'^about/$', 'mysite.views.about', {'blogid': 3}),
+ )
+
+Note that extra options will *always* be passed to *every* line in the included
+URLconf, regardless of whether the line's view actually accepts those options
+as valid. For this reason, this technique is only useful if you're certain that
+every view in the the included URLconf accepts the extra options you're passing.
