Documentation about timezone is misleading
Official documentation says :
When support for time zones is enabled, Django stores datetime information in UTC in the database, uses time-zone-aware datetime objects internally, and translates them to the end user’s time zone in templates and forms.
This is not True. In templates (including admin panel), Django uses TIME_ZONE setting instead of end user's timezone.

Yes thank you!
This is clearer further down in the "Time zone aware input in forms" and "Time zone aware output in templates" section.
I recommend that
end user's time zoneis updated to:ref:`default current time zone <default-current-time-zone>`here.
