If multiple apps have templatetags modules with the same name, it silently drops all but one. — at Initial Version

Description

For example, if you have:

  • blog/templatetags/navigation_tags.py
  • news/templatetags/navigation_tags.py
  • pages/templatetags/navigation_tags.py

then try to use them in a template:

{% load navigation_tags %}

then only one of these will be loaded - and there's no report that there is a problem - but if you attempt to use one of the filters / tags from one of the libraries that's not the loaded one, it throws a generic template syntax error saying it's an invalid tag / filter.

Proposed solution:

Add a new 'check' to the django checks that warns the user if there are multiple templatetag libraries with the same name.
