-    This function takes a GDAL SpatialReference system and adds its
-    information to the PostGIS `spatial_ref_sys` table -- enabling
-    spatial transformations with PostGIS.  This is handy for adding
-    spatial reference systems not included by default with PostGIS.
-    For example, the following adds the so-called "Google Maps Mercator
-    Projection" (available in GDAL 1.5):
+    This function takes a GDAL SpatialReference system and adds its information
+    to the `spatial_ref_sys` table of the spatial backend.  Doing this enables
+    database-level spatial transformations for the backend.  Thus, this utility
+    is useful for adding spatial reference systems not included by default with
+    the backend -- for example, the so-called "Google Maps Mercator Projection"
+    is excluded in PostGIS 1.3 and below, and the following adds it to the
+    `spatial_ref_sys` table:
 
-    >>> add_postgis_srs(SpatialReference(900913))
+    >>> from django.contrib.gis.utils import add_srs_entry
+    >>> add_srs_entry(900913)
 
     Keyword Arguments:
-     auth_name: This keyword may be customized with the value of the
-                `auth_name` field.  Defaults to 'EPSG'.
+     auth_name:
+       This keyword may be customized with the value of the `auth_name` field.
+       Defaults to 'EPSG'.
 
-     auth_srid: This keyword may be customized with the value of the
-                `auth_srid` field.  Defaults to the SRID determined
-                by GDAL.
+     auth_srid:
+       This keyword may be customized with the value of the `auth_srid` field.
+       Defaults to the SRID determined by GDAL.
+
+     ref_sys_name:
+       For SpatiaLite users only, sets the value of the the `ref_sys_name` field.
+       Defaults to the name determined by GDAL.
 
-     ref_sys_name: For SpatiaLite users only, sets the value of the
-                   the `ref_sys_name` field.  Defaults to the name
-                   determined by GDAL.
+     database:
+      The name of the database connection to use; the default is the value
+      of `django.db.DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS` (at the time of this writing, it's value
+      is 'default').
