24255	modelformset_factory examples in documentation do not specify a field list	Matt Westcott	Matt Westcott	"Several of the examples for modelformset_factory in the documentation now fail in Django 1.8, because they do not pass a 'fields' or 'exclude' parameter (either directly to the modelformset_factory function, or indirectly by specifying a ModelForm subclass).

For example: https://github.com/django/django/blob/a15aba66f2fc650f70a791fb7fa880cf85cb1229/docs/topics/forms/modelforms.txt#L717
