+Django-reversion support
+------------------------
+
+`Django-reversion <https://github.com/etianen/django-reversion>`_ works as
+expected with polymorphic models.  However, they require more setup than
+standard models.  We have to face these problems:
+
+* The children models are not registered in the admin site.
+  You will therefore need to manually register them to django-reversion.
+* Polymorphic models use
+  `multi-table inheritance <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#multi-table-inheritance>`_.
+  The django-reversion wiki explains
+  `how to deal with this <https://github.com/etianen/django-reversion/wiki/Low-level-API#multi-table-inheritance>`_.
+
+
+Example

+The admin :ref:`admin-example` becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from django.contrib import admin
+    from polymorphic.admin import PolymorphicParentModelAdmin, PolymorphicChildModelAdmin
+    import reversion
+    from reversion import VersionAdmin
+    from .models import ModelA, ModelB, ModelC
