This pattern seems common:
```
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^about/',
login_required(TemplateView.as_view(template_name="secret.html"))),
```
from: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/class-based-views/intro
/#decorating-in-urlconf
Please update the docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required
Since class-based views are the default today, I think it would be
appropriate to list the class-based-view way first, and then list the
decorating of view-methods.

Comment:
Thanks for the suggestion. On Django 1.9, you can use the
`LoginRequiredMixin` instead and this is documented after the
`login_required()` decorator in that documentation. I don't think the
issue is critical enough that we need to patch the docs for 1.8.
