You wouldn't currently be able to do that, at least in your proposed
structure because you have a file path <template_dir>/admin/
change_list.html and inside the change_list.html you are extending
"admin/change_list.html", which the template engine isn't currently
"smart" enough to deal with, as from the template engine's perspective
you're trying to extend "yourself", hence the recursion error.
Granted, i'm not the best person to talk to when it comes to the
template side of things, but i've had to write a patch for my own work
before with regard to the recursion issue.
