Ensuring a block is overridden in a Django template
Neat Django trick by Tom Carrick: implement a Django template tag that raises a custom exception, then you can use this pattern in your templates:{% block title %}{% ensure_overridden %}{% endblock %}
To ensure you don't accidentally extend a base template but forget to fill out a critical block.
