Inheriting nav-global block in admin/base_site.html

[Gagan Deep]

Greetings of the day,

I was working with templates for the admin site of Django. I added some HTML elements to the nav-global block of the admin/base.html template, but surprisingly they did not show up on the final render page. Upon deeper inspection using django-debug-toolbar, I realized that the admin/base_site.html template extends admin/base.html and overrides the nav-global block without adding anything to it.

In my opinion, admin/base_site.html should inherit the nav-global block of admin/base.html instead of overriding it. I wanted to discuss it before going ahead to open a ticket for this. I tried to find a reason for adopting the current implementation, but couldn't find anything even by git blame.

Best,
