Description
The FAQ about the admin page concerning list filters for ManyToManyFields states that the filter won't display if there are fewer than two related objects, since filtering with only a single option would be meaningless.
In reality however, the filter already displays when there is only one related object and (per default) adds a None option to filter for objects with no relations.
The FAQ should probably state that the filter disappers when there are no related objects available, since in that case only the None option would remain, which would indeed be a meaningless filter.

Sure, it might take me a few days to get around to do it, since it's my first contribution and I might have some catching up to do.

Good catch, this FAQ has not been changed since (at least) 2008, so it's a bit outdated. Would you like to prepare a patch?
