#25744 closed Bug (fixed)

Documentation of customizing authentication references to wrong place

Description

In documentation on page ​topics/auth/customizing/#writing-an-authentication-backend it says "The Django admin system is tightly coupled to the Django User object described at the beginning of this document." but I think this is not true. The User object is not described on that page but it is described on ​topics/auth/default/#user-objects.

This is present on all versions since 1.5 at least. I think this is an easy one to fix, just check if this is really a bug and then rephrase the sentence and link to correct part of the documentation.
