Description (last modified by Eunwoo Cho)

When people want to customize Django's logging, my guess is that they'll most often want to start by changing something about the default logging setup. Toward this end, it would be helpful if the Django docs included a dictConfig for the default logging setup. Instead, the docs *describe* the default settings (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/logging/#default-logging-configuration), and give dictConfigs for several other possible configurations for logging (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/logging/#configuring-logging).

I don't think copying the full config would be great. There are already lots of examples in the doc for people to use.

However... getting people to look at the source is always worth it, so a single line link to django/utils/log.py"For Reference the default logging config is defined in..." (See a68c029e224cebe540da7447dbbd27993b4aa793 for source extlink examples.) — would be good.

Hi, this is my first easy picking fix. I will assign the issue to myself and submit the PR this evening if that is ok.
