I would like to change the template ( or change behaviour ) for the
change list view, but only for one model. Can anyone tell me how one
could find out in the template which model we are representing? Or
alternately, where in the admin code one might add extra variables to
render to the template?

done?

One of my very few gripes with the otherwise amazing admin interface is
the way deletions are handled when foreign key relationships are there.
If you want to delete one item, it takes out any others depending on
this item. Makes sense in a way, but could be very dangerous in the
hands of a client
I stumbled on some behaviour that I'm sure is explained somewhere but
not in the tutorials so I haven't found it.
I made a global log object for debugging. I noticed instantiating

In addition, I checked my mysql table and the field in question is
implemented as an integer with Null allowed and default set to Null, so
it appears that syncdb is creating the table properly, but the admin
interface is not letting me put in a null value for some reason.

The Django sites related-objects documentation says:
"if a ForeignKey field has null=True set (i.e., it allows NULL values),
you can assign None to it. Example:
e = Entry.objects.get(id=2)
e.blog = None
e.save() # "UPDATE blog_entry SET blog_id = NULL ...;"
