The contrib.admindocs templates are still part of the contrib.admin templates directory

Moving the admin_docs template directory to contrib.admindocs requires the addition of django.contrib.admindocs to the installed apps list.

To further expand on my previous comment:

The only change necessary to resolve this ticket is to move files to contrib/admindocs/templates/admin_doc, subject to the requirement that the user add django.contrib.admindocs to his installed apps list.

The change described above does not completely resolve the separation of admin and admindocs. The admin_doc templates depend on admin/base_site.html.

So, two decisions are needed: one on the requirement on the user, and another about whether the separation implied by moving files is indeed separate enough.

ebruning,

Thanks very much for looking into this throughly. I would hope users understand that an application should likely always be in INSTALLED_APPS. This should be noted in some documentation just be sure. Your second point is a good one, but I think that it is fine to require the admin application. At this point the admin docs are very embedded in the admin anyways that is fine to see that dependancy go in that direction. So basically this change would make things work as Django should be expected to be used.

(In [8264]) Fixed #7811: moved admindocs templates into admindocs/templates. This is slightly backwards-incompatible in that if you're using the admindocs you'll need to add 'django.contrib.admindocs' to INSTALLED_APPS.
