21948	Docs on extending admin templates should mention TEMPLATE_LOADERS	django@…	nobody	"The docs at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates should mention that you *must* set:

{{{
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
     'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
     ...
)
}}}

and that `django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader` must come before `django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader`.

This confused me for a long time, mainly because the default settings.py created with `django-admin.py startproject myproject` doesn't contain any of those settings.

(P.S. you also need to set `TEMPLATE_DIRS` of course. This is mentioned in the docs linked above, but I think it could be clearer)
