FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME documentation doesn't explain how the prefix is prepended with regard to relative vs. absolute paths.

Description
When FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME is set it will prepend the prefix to URLs for STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL. However, if either the static root is an absolute path (staring with a /) then this will be completely skipped. Since Django defaults to STATIC_URL being set to /static/ it is not obvious that you may need to set this to be STATIC_URL = "static/", removing the leading slash.
The docs should have a note or warning in this section https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#force-script-name explaining this.

This behavior is already documented in MEDIA_URL and STATIC_URL docs and it's not related with
FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME, which is only a way to override the server-provided value ofSCRIPT_NAME.
