More simply, how do I put {{app_label}}_{{model_name}}_changelist in a

said model?
I am guessing I don't want to refer to settings.auth_user_model in the
template. It feels like the only way is to use the tag in that case and
instead somehow call the changelist function (wherever that is) in the
view. If so, anyone know how to do that?
You could either make a custom tag which behind the scenes can do (more
or less) anything or write a method or class for your view which returns
a dict or list or queryset.
I would decide which to use based on whether the result is mostly
display oriented or mostly business logic oriented. Business logic goes
in the view and display tweaks go in custom tags.
For a custom tag check
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/custom-template-tags/
The view code would be something like ...
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from wherever import special_logic # returns list or queryset
def display_whatever(request, arg):
rqcontext = RequestContext(request)
content = { whatever: special_logic(arg), }
return render_to_response('whatever.html', content, rqcontext)
