✅

Add / at start in href:

<a href="/appname/detail/{{ job.id }}/">{{ job.name }}</a>

And for the url tag to work you need to do it like this:

<a href="{% url 'appname.views.detail' jobID=job.id %}">{{ job.name }}</a>

From my experience, as long as you have defined the url of the page the href tag should lead to in urls.py, include the absolute path in the format below.

Site name: yyyy.com
Url of page to redirect to in urls.py: yyyy.com/signup/

Sample link: <a href="/signup/">Signup</a>

You will notice that what goes inside the href tag is sort of appended to the current url. For more dynamic links, you can use some python as of DTL guidelines.

For django templates
Url.py File 

app_name = 'app_name'
path('url/', TestView.as_view(), name='the_url'),
path('url//<int:id>', TestView.as_view(), name='the_url'),

templates(html.py)

 <a href="{% url 'app_name:the_url'  %}">Test</a>
 <a href="{% url 'app_name:the_url' id %}">Test</a>

I got the same problem, new address is being added after the "/" URL which is not recognised.

Can be solved by adding "/" at the address you are giving at the href attribute.

ex: href:services is wrong
href:/services is to be used to go to services page.
