Description
I suggest making it explicit that the TEMPLATE_DIRS should be set in settings.py, and also pointing out that there is already an empty definition of it in the default file. I added it to the top and spent half an hour crawling through lots of other peoples' posts looking for help because their template overrides didn't take effect.
Otherwise I am finding the documentation to be excellent so far, thanks!

TEMPLATE_DIRS
no longer appears in the default project template as of 3f1c7b70537330435e2ec2fca9550f7b7fa4372e so this seems moot.
If you put your templates in
templates
directories within your apps, you don't need to setTEMPLATE_DIRS
.There's a debate currently about whether using
TEMPLATE_DIRS
should be discouraged; some would like to put everything within apps.
