Strike the idea to give admin control over the slug. Instead, use django-autoslug and make the field not editable. Let autoslug handle conflicts by using sane values for populate_from and unique_with.

 

Example (from the docs):

# autoslugify value from a custom callable

# (ex. usage: user profile models)

slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from=lambda instance: instance.user.get_full_name())

Which is basically what you try to accomplish in the admin.
