32217	Add warning about missing 'migrations' package to migration docs	Tim McCurrach	Tim McCurrach	"If you create an app with no migrations folder, then running `makemigrations` won't make migrations for that app. This isn't really mentioned in the migrations doc. There is a section dedicated to apps where the database is already set up and migrations are missing, but someone who has simply created an app manually might gloss over that section. The only place I could actually find this written down is in a comment in `db.migrations.questioner` (lines 26-33).

I have been bitten by this a few times, and only noticed my migrations weren't added until further on down the line when I get a database error.

I think it would be helpful to have the above explicitly stated in the docs. "	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	3.1	Normal	wontfix			Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
