 Mmm, in fact the discussion reached the same point in #23575 (unless I
 missed something).

New description:

 Tutorial 2 shows how to change the admin's header (see also #21378).

 However, in Django 1.7, there's a better way to achieve this particular
 task:
 
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.AdminSite.site_header
 AdminSite.site_header].

 If that example is intended to demonstrate how to override a template,
 then it should tackle another use case for which overriding templates is
 the simplest choice.

 If it is intended to show how to customize the admin's header, then it
 should describe the simplest solution.

Comment:

 I've rewritten the ticket because the state of the reporter's ass is only
 marginally relevant to the Django project ;-) However, the idea is valid.
