If you use "DetailView" (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/class-based-views/generic-display /#django.views.generic.detail.DetailView) you may call this field "slug" (it is default). But you can overwrite it.
But in your case custom function is used, so you may call this field whatever you want. I believe "id" is nice. I use DetailView unless I need really custom logic, so I use "slug" almost always.
