Description
In the forms documentation, there are several references to the forms' templates from the perspective of needing to customize them. A next logical step is to reproduce that file and tweak it for a developer's own needs. We should consider adding links to the source code for these templates to make that reproduction a bit easier. Not every developer realizes they can search site-packages/django for the templates.
I'm proposing anywhere render a value like django/forms/field.html we add a source link.
This would involve 53 changes across the following files (this was a crude search and could be wrong):
- docs/ref/forms/api.txt
- docs/ref/forms/fields.txt
- docs/ref/forms/renderers.txt
- docs/ref/forms/widgets.txt
- docs/topics/forms/index.txt
- docs/topics/forms/formsets.txt
