There is no mention of non_field_errors on the forms api page

There is no mention of non_field_errors on the forms api page.

This is in django 1.6, 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2 docs. Visit to ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/api/, and search for non_field_errors - there is no mention of that api entry point. It would be nice if there was.

This is related to the following tickets:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14023
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13465

I see non_field errors is on the dev version of the docs. Good stuff. Do you update the older docs for requests like this?

Hi,

The mention of non_field_errors was made as part of commit f563c339ca2eed81706ab17726c79a6f00d7c553 which only applies to the dev version.

We usually backport documentation fixes to older versions of the doc (provided it's relevant and not too much hassle) but in this case, we can't really do that.

However, eventhough non_field_errors is now mentionned, I agree that it's lacking a proper reference like Form.errors has for example, so I'll accept this ticket.

If you provide a patch, I don't see any reason why it couldn't be applied to older versions of the doc as well.

Thanks.
