Description

We should include a link to the "Form and Field Validation" document in the "further topics" section of the "Working with Forms" document (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/). I had a very hard time finding the "Form and Field Validation" material, and it's pretty essential to know about it when you are learning how to use Django forms.

Thanks,
John

The "Form and Field Validation" document is at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/

Triage Stage: UnreviewedDesign decision needed

I think the idea is that you would find that by following the "forms API reference" link under "see also". We probably don't want to duplicate the links in case they change in the future.

I will say that it's not immediately evident where to click to get to the desired information when you're looking at the bottom of that page.

Looking at the code, "Further Topics" relates to other pages within this topic/directory in the Topics section of the docs, while "See Also" links to related information in other sections of the docs (in this in case the Reference section).

Simply duplicating links from one place to the other is not the answer, but a little work to clarify the bottom of this page would go a long way. I'll accept the ticket for that.
