I can't say exactly what you're doing *wrong*, because this is the behavior I would expect. The ?next query parameter is used by the default login view to tell Django where it should send the user after the user has been logged in [1]. The ?next argument is dropped from the query string because it has already fulfilled its purpose at that point, it wasn't an argument for your dashboard view. Can you tell us what do you want to achieve with this?
