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/'

Thank you for the clarification, I'm new to contributing in Django, now I know I shouldn't accept my own tickets, thanks.
MEDIA_URLwas remove from the project template in 3f1c7b70537330435e2ec2fca9550f7b7fa4372e (Django 1.6) and I agree that "many sites will never deal with user-uploaded files".You can start a discussion on DevelopersMailingList if you don't agree.
In the future, please don't accept your own tickets.
