When running `python manage.py collectstatic`, users have to type in the
whole word "yes".
I know it is two more chars but I feel like most tools also allow "y"
together with "yes". Today I automatically typed "y" and pressed enter
several times and spent around 2-3 minutes to find where I went wrong.
Also it would be a good first contribution opportunity.

Hey there,
Most of Django commands have a `--noinput` flag for this purpose,
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#cmdoption-
collectstatic-noinput collectstatic is no different].
This is a question that would have been easily resolved through
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
features/#reporting-bugs support channels so please avoid filling bugs
before filling out a bug report].

Comment:
Simon, I think you missed the point of the suggestion, allowing 'y'
instead of 'yes' as confirmation for the interactive prompt. Anyway, I
don't see a huge advantage to the proposed change. Considering the
confirmation involves deleting files, ensuring that users read it
carefully and follow instructions seems okay to me.

You are right Tim, sorry for the rough answer Jahongir. I misread your
report as a request to add a `-y` flag to the `collectstatic` command.

Simon, that's okay. Probably I didn't do a good job of explaining my
suggestion. After Tim's response, I agree that it is not a good idea.
Thank you.
