Description

Currently when creating a new project in the file settings.py comes by default the static path but does not come the average and I feel that this is a great disadvantage for those who are starting with the framework since the comment that static has indicates which files it can contain:

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

And for the same reason it can generate confusion in new users to save .mp4, .mp3, etc.

What I suggest is that now also when creating the project it appears like this:

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

# Media files (MP4, MP3, GIF)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/

MEDIA_URL = 'media/'

MEDIA_URL was remove from the project template in 3f1c7b70537330435e2ec2fca9550f7b7fa4372e (Django 1.6) and I agree that "many sites will never deal with user-uploaded files".
