Description
Following the forum discussion here, add a Profile How-To showing best practices for a profile model related to the User model.
- Show a best-practice model — with decent name fields.
- Be clear to tell folks that the existing
first_name/last_namefields are outdated (at best) and say it’s OK to just ignore them. - Show creating the profile instance — with a signal, inline, or using get_or_create()
- Give an introduction to template fragment caching.

Gladly accepting this!
Also TIL (not really today but very recently) about template fragment caching. Looking forward to reading this!
