36037	Documentation mentions default primary key being regular IntegerField, not BigAutoField	Ari Pollak		"Currently, Django's default primary key type is a BigAutoField. However, a couple of pages still talk about it being an IntegerField.

Under https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/db/models/#field-options:

If you don’t specify primary_key=True for any fields in your model, Django will automatically add an IntegerField to hold the primary key, so you don’t need to set primary_key=True on any of your fields unless you want to override the default primary-key behavior. For more, see Automatic primary key fields

Under https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#generic-relations:

2. Give your model a field that can store primary key values from the models you’ll be relating to. For most models, this means a PositiveIntegerField. The usual name for this field is “object_id”."	Cleanup/optimization	new	Documentation	5.1	Normal				Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	1	0
