In documentation page on other middleware hooks
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/http/middleware/#process-
template-response) signature of {{{process_template_response}}} method
does not have {{{self}}} among its arguments, suggesting it is not
required, so the method can be marked as static. Doing so results in non-
verbose error occurring in
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/4.0.2/django/core/handlers/base.py#L256
| django/core/handlers/base.py on line 256] due to how django gets
middleware name from {{{middleware_method}}}
({{{middleware_method.__self__.__class__.__name__}}}).

I think that documentation should have {{{self}}} in the method signature
and user should get a verbose message that {{{@staticmethod}}} is not
allowed. Or maybe this behaviour should be changed so all middleware hook
methods could be static.
