Description
Proper support for circular (recursive) inheritance has been possible since https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22232 was fixed. But we don't have any docs for this, or at least none that appear to be easy to find.
This is a very useful feature. It allows a lot of power and flexibility without the need to create many template overrides.
Before Django properly supported this, most of us used: https://github.com/stephenmcd/django-overextends
The docs from overextends with the basic example as there on that project are what Django needs. A clear explanation and example of what circular inheritance is, how it works, and how to use it.

This would make a good addition to the Overriding Templates How-To.

I don't think that there is a need to reassign this ticket, discussion is in progress.
