CharField's max_length is Incorrectly Listed as Optional in Documentation

[Jeremy]

The documentation (for all currently documented versions of Django) on the CharField class states that it:

Has two optional arguments for validation:

max_length
min_length

However, if you actually try to create a CharField without a max_length Django will complain:

"some_field": CharFields require a "max_length" attribute that is a positive integer.

So, it seems that the max_length arg is required by Django, but listed as optional in the documentation, and thus it appears the documentation requires an update.

You are mixing the form field documentation with the model field documentation:
