python - Django generate url in template -

i'm new django.

i have created pages app hosts static files home, about, etc

in urls.py of pages app, have defined url access home class on /pages

from django.conf.urls import url  . import views  app_name = 'pages' urlpatterns = [     url(r'^$', views.homeview.as_view(), name='home') ] 

and included in myapp/urls.py

urlpatterns = [     url('^', include('pages.urls')),     url(r'^pages/', include('pages.urls')), ] 

i have included 2 patterns set url(r'^$', views.homeview.as_view(), name='home') of pages app access / (root) , using pages/home

question: how generate url in template?

generating url in template pages {% url 'home' %} working fine , accessible using pages/home

but, have template file base.html outside of apps serves basic structure app templates using {% extends 'base.html' %}

when generate url in base.html {% url 'home' %} gives error as

reverse 'home' not found. 'home' not valid view function or pattern name. 

i tried {% url 'pages/home' %} , {% url 'pages.home' %} gives same error.
