The annoying part about that is that we can't have a site-wide admin
override of change_list.html.

You can! Put change_list.html in your local templates/admin and *don't*
let it inherit from admin/change_list - instead just copy the whole file.

How about overriding just one block of change_list.html? Copying the file
doesn't seem to be the Django Way.

No, but that's a workaround :) ...similarly you can make a symlink, call
it something else and inherit from that.

Comment (by anonymous):

A better way that avoids copying, symlinks or using the full path, is to
use '..' to go up a directory or to and then back into a set of folders
specific to the django admin templates.
