how do I pass that particular variable into the custom admin template context?

回答1:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None):
        extra_context = extra_context or {}
        extra_context['some_var'] = 'This is what I want to show'
        return super(MyModelAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context=extra_context)
