Adding extra_context in Django logout built-in view

In django/contrib/auth/views.py there is the definition of the logout view :

def logout(request, next_page=None,
       template_name='registration/logged_out.html',
       redirect_field_name=REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME,
       current_app=None, extra_context=None):

I would like to add extra_context to get rid of the 'Logged out' title that appear when I log off

so I'm trying this in my url confs :

(r'^accounts/logout/$', logout(extra_context={'title':'something else'}) ),

but then I get this error : logout() takes at least 1 non-keyword argument (0 given) what I'm doing wrong? ps: when I do

(r'^accounts/logout/$', logout ),

it works, but then I get the 'Logged out' text...

Thanks, Fred

I had a similar problem with titles and generic views in django 1.11 (though the problem was mostly that I didn't switch docs version from 2.0). I wanted to pass title via extra_context to the view inherited from CreateView, and discovered that django's generic view had no such attribute. So, here are my crutches:

  1. Create custom mixin (hope that's more or less what ContextMixin in 2.0 does):

    class ExtraContextMixin():
    extra_context = {}

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context.update(self.extra_context)

        return context

  2. Add mixin to view's ancestors (that's all code I had to change):

    class CustomView(ExtraContextMixin, CreateView):

  3. Pass extra_context from url:

    url(r'^custom-view/$', views.CustomView.as_view(extra_context={'title': 'just any'}), name='custom-view')

Unfortunately, I have no idea whether such solution is acceptable (no need since 2.0, obviously), but at least it's working.
