No mentioning of addition of staticfiles to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS after 1.2 in settings documentation

[mathijs@…]

In the ​devs docs, the list of TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS is:

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

In the ​1.2 docs, it reads:

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

Since "django.core.context_processors.media" changed for "django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles" it should mention something about this in the docs. This way it's confusing for innocent users like myself.

A suggested change would be:

Changed in Django 1.3: "django.core.context_processors.media" was replaced by ""django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles" in the default. For more information, see the staticfiles documentation.

There is also no mention that the new staticfiles context processor also puts MEDIA_URL in the context ​here. It is mentioned ​here, however there is a typo "This context processor has been moved to the new The staticfiles app app".

There is a typo ​here: "see the statcfiles reference."

(In [14479]) Fixed #14600 -- Added a versionchanged directive to the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting reference, and added a currentmodule directive to the staticfiles docs so that the crossref targets would point to the right place even with full paths in the staticfiles docs. Thanks to mathijs for the report and suggested text.
