Description

Following the forum discussion here, add a Profile How-To showing best practices for a profile model related to the User model.

  • Show a best-practice model — with decent name fields.
  • Be clear to tell folks that the existing first_name/last_name fields are outdated (at best) and say it’s OK to just ignore them.
  • Show creating the profile instance — with a signal, inline, or using get_or_create()
  • Give an introduction to template fragment caching.

According to the ticket's flags, the next step(s) to move this issue forward are:

  • To provide a patch by sending a pull request. Claim the ticket when you start working so that someone else doesn't duplicate effort. Before sending a pull request, review your work against the patch review checklist. Check the "Has patch" flag on the ticket after sending a pull request and include a link to the pull request in the ticket comment when making that update. The usual format is: [https://github.com/django/django/pull/#### PR].
