27981	date/time filter docs inaccurate about how localization works	Erdem Yılmaz	nobody	"In the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/templates/builtins/#date django documentation] it says about date filter

When used without a format string:

{{{
{{ value|date }}
}}}

...the formatting string defined in the DATE_FORMAT setting will be used, without applying any localization.

my DATE_FORMAT in the settings.py is as follows:
DATE_FORMAT = 'd-F-Y'

But my DATE_FORMAT setting is not used, the locale-dictated format (DATE_FORMAT = 'd F Y') always overrides my custom format which contains dashes"	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.10	Normal	fixed	template date filter		Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
