Description
I and some collegues always refer to http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/forms/validation/#cleaning-and-validating-fields-that-depend-on-each-other to check how to do custom validation, I've been looking for a while before finding that I need to call the parent clean method for modelForm (to avoid postgres to raise the unique constraint error).
I found later that it was written in ModelForm documentation. Just a warning with a link to this chapter would be great.

I inserted the note and link where it seemed most appropriate in the introduction to the clean method - I couldn't figure out if there is a way to link to a #section, and couldn't find any example of such a ref after a quick look around the docs.
