Create new files when overriding the default admin site.

[Wayne Lambert]

Hi,

When I read the section in the docs called 'Overriding the default admin site', I was left wondering whether I needed to create an admin.py and apps.py file within the project folder. Let me explain...

Because a Django project has the folder level which contains settings.py and wsgi.py but does not contain apps.py and admin.py by default, but the documents say 'myproject/admin.py' (in the code block headings), this led me to believe that files needed to be created within the project folder (i.e. in the same location as settings.py).

If it is the intention to create new files in this location, I think the docs should say 'create new files called ...'

If it is the intention that it is an app's admin.py and apps.py files that should be amended, then I think that the block of code should have the headers of myapp/admin.py and myapp/apps.py

Thanks for the report. However I don't think that it requires clarification, it is a preferable option to create these files in a project directory. Moreover it's not a beginner use case or a part of tutorial and both paths and content are correct.
