Description
I'm struggling to understand the second sentence of the documentation of LoginRequiredMiddleware.get_login_url() (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/middleware/#django.contrib.auth.middleware.get_login_url).
If defined, this returns the login_url set on the login_required() decorator. Defaults to settings.LOGIN_URL.
After many reads, I think I get the point of the If defined that means if the login_required() defines login_url, then... I'm sure we can do better. Same issue with the docs for get_redirect_field_name()` below.
