Description (last modified by Flavio Curella)

The GeoDjango tutorial (​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/gis/tutorial/) still instructs to create a db using the spatial template.

Since PostgresSQL 9.1, the preferred way is to use the postgis extension instead.

This brings up another issue: should makemigrations automatically add a CreateExtension operation? Is that even doable?

For now I've simply documented it, but it would be very handy to have it automatically.
