#24962: Objects with primary keys containing newlines do not get links to being
edited in the admin list view
-------------------------------+--------------------
     Reporter:  alito          |      Owner:  nobody
         Type:  Bug            |     Status:  new
    Component:  contrib.admin  |    Version:  master
     Severity:  Normal         |   Keywords:
 Triage Stage:  Unreviewed     |  Has patch:  1

-------------------------------+--------------------
 The admin list view of an object lists each object and does a

 reverse('admin:%s_%s_change' % (self.opts.app_label,
 self.opts.model_name), args=(quote(pk),),
 current_app=self.model_admin.admin_site.name)

 to assign a change url for each one, skipping the link if the reverse
 fails. The 'quote' function there escapes a whole bunch of characters so
 as not to confuse the url pattern matcher but it forgets to escape
 newline.

 Therefore, a model like this:

 class Name(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField(primary_key=True)

 with:
 n = Name('John')
 n.save()
 o = Name('Have a \n newline')
 o.save()

 will list a link for John, but no link for 'Have a
 newline'

 (The bug actually is triggered in quite a few other places in admin but
 the list view is the easiest one to see. I've attached some screenshots
 that I prepared earlier)

 Change is a 2-character change to quote \n as well (attached)
