Actually (according to your code snippet) a filter.

If this is your exact real code, you should get a NameError on the
third line, where you try to register your filter function before it's

Also and FWIW, you don't really need such a filter, just use
{{ name.lower }} in your template.

The django app containing your templatetags package needs to be
registered in settings.INSTALLED_APPS.
