Enforcing conventions in Django projects with introspection (via) Luke Plant shows how to use the Django system checks framework to introspect models on startup and warn if a DateTime or Date model field has been added that doesn’t conform to a specific naming convention.
Luke also proposes “*_at” as a convention for DateTimes, contrasting with “*_on” or “*_date” (I prefer the latter) for Dates.
