25309	Docs: ATOMIC_REQUESTS is for **view** not http request	Thomas Güttler	nobody	"Current docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#atomic-requests

{{{
ATOMIC_REQUESTS
Default: False

Set this to True to wrap each HTTP request in a transaction on this database. See Tying transactions to HTTP requests.
}}}

According to my understanding (and the person sitting beside me) this is not correct.

ATOMIC_REQUESTS ties the transaction to the **view**, not the http request.

The middleware is part of the request. It is not inside the transaction.

I think it should be:

{{{
Set this to True to wrap each view in a transaction on this database.
