Description
Since commit d24ba1be7a53a113d19e2860c03aff9922efec24, the admin templates use the implied request variable normally added by django.template.context_processors.request.
As Django templates silence errors, this went unnoticed during testing, and won't immediately break the templates, but certain expected rendering features won't work.
Django should document this change:
- In the release notes (provide a deprecation period where it is a warning only)
- In the admin docs
- In the system check framework as a warning (but eventually an error)

Suggestion from Mariusz on the PR, to the system check an error but only if the sidebar is enabled.
