Comment:
Here is one of the problems of 'requiring' such a change. Don't make this
modification in urls and do the following:
1. Go to admin/sites/site/
2. change the domain and you will be redirected to the new mentioned
domain
However if you:
1. Go to admin/sites/site/
2. Delete the site mentioned there
3. Add a new site you want to be redirected to
There will be no change in link directed by 'View on site'.
I think if this modification is *required*, it should be (at-least)
documented.

Comment:
This ticket is 8 years old, a lot has changed since then. Needing to
include shortcut urls in your own url conf is not documented because it is
not required. (I assume you are not using pre-1.0 Django.) The admin
itself takes care to ensure there is a url pattern in place to handle the
r/<content_type_id>/<object_id> urls it generates for the "View on Site"
buttons. These requests are routed to the shortcut view noted here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/contrib/sites/#how-django-uses-
the-sites-framework
and implemented here:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/contenttypes/views.py#L9
It isn't entirely clear to me what you are expecting differs from what is
happening with respect to the "view on site" buttons, it's quite possible
that view doesn't do what you expecting. If there is a bug here, it most
likely needs its own bug to track it, with a current and complete
description of what is going wrong...linking some current oddness to an
eight-year-old ticket is just going to confuse things.
