Description
The documentation for the [DIRS](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/templates/api/#the-dirs-option) template setting states that
This should be set to a list of strings that contain full paths to your template directories
However, the documentation for the [TemplatesSetting](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/forms/renderers/#templatessetting) class tells us:
Adding the built-in widgets templates directory (django/forms/templates or django/forms/jinja2) in
DIRSof one of your template engines.
That is, it says to add a relative path to the DIRS setting, which contradicts the documentation for DIRS.
