The slugify function itself (django.template.defaultfilters.slugify) only works on it’s input so that’s not what gets you such result.

wrt/ your original question, ie “Is it possible to have a slugfield unique per user or other model”, it’s just a matter of declaring the relevant fields as unique_together in your model’s Meta, ie

class Category(models.Model):
    # code here

class Page(models.Model):
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category)
    slug = models.SlugField("slug")

    class Meta:
        unique_together = (
            ("category", "slug"), 
        )

Then if you have some code that autogenerate / prepopulate the slug field you’ll have to tweak it manually to take care of the category…
