25681	Possible minor contradiction in DATABASES setting depicted in multiple database/routing docs example.	aleks	Tim Graham <timograham@…>	"Whilst perusing the (excellent) documentation, I noticed that in the 'Multiple databases' docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/multi-db/), the section 'Defining your databases' states: ""Django requires that a default database entry be defined, but the parameters dictionary can be left blank if it will not be used""...

However in the example later in this section (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/multi-db/#an-example), the default value is not defined.

I fully appreciate this is an example, which as stated skips some complex considerations, however from what I understood, the default value is a *requirement* not a consideration as such?

Or have I misunderstood/misread the requirement for the 'default' value when using custom routers? (in which case my apologies!)"	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.8	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	1	0
