+Unlike the hook-type ``ModelAdmin`` methods detailed in the previous section,
+these five methods are in reality designed to be invoked as Django views from
+the admin application URL dispatching handler to render the pages that deal
+with model instances CRUD operations. As a result, completely overriding these
+methods will significantly change the behavior of the admin application.
+
+One comon reason for overriding these methods is to augment the context data
+that is provided to the template that renders the view. In the following
+example, the change view is overridden so that the rendered template is
+provided some extra mapping data that would not otherwise be available::
+
+    class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
+
+        # A template for a very customized change view:
+        change_form_template = 'admin/myapp/extras/openstreetmap_change_form.html'
