24449	Link in debug information for csrf points to dead link	Wim Feijen	nobody	"The link pointing to: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#ref-contrib-csrf
gives a 404 Page Not Found error.

Sometimes is going wrong with my csrf and I get the following error page, which contains the faulty link:

Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
Help
Reason given for failure:
CSRF cookie not set.
    
In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when Django's CSRF mechanism has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to ensure:
Your browser is accepting cookies.
The view function uses RequestContext for the template, instead of Context.
In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.
If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
You're seeing the help section of this page because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and only the initial error message will be displayed.
You can customize this page using the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW setting."	Uncategorized	closed	Uncategorized	1.4	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
