Description
At the moment it is not really clear from the docs that you have to supply a subclass that already has a Meta class in it. From reading it I thought this would be added by the admin (as happens if you don't set the form attribute). This interpretation is also enforced by the lack of a Meta class in the validation example given later on. The attached patch fixes the example and tries to be a bit more explicit in the form attribute explanation.

The link to the section is somehow broken. At least with the locally generated docs my patch worked. I looked the syntax up here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#implicit-hyperlink-targets

(In [8395]) Fixed #8299 -- Clarified the ModelAdmin.form option. Also added an inner Meta class to the ModelForm example in adding custom validation to the admin. Thanks jarrow for the report and initial patch.
