[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/formtools/form-wizard/
The WizardView documentation] neither documents or provides an example of
how to specify which forms the wizard is comprised of. This is made even
more confusing by the fact that WizardView.get_form_list() returns an
OrderedDict rather than the list one might expect.

Comment:

This is not actually factually true. As of 1.6, when form_list feature was
actually introduced, the documentation does mention it, but only as an
alternative to providing them as an argument to as_view(), and only as the
very last thing you should do. That still seems inadequate — rolling
through the documentation in order, you would end up blind-faithing your
entire view until you get to that final step.

Comment (by timo):

I am not sure what you mean by "blind-faithing your entire view until you
get to that final step"? Could you make a specific suggestion to improve
the documentation or supply a patch? I'll be happy to review it.

Comment:

Could you open a ticket again the new [https://github.com/django/django-
formtools django-formtools] repository? The details of your request aren't
clear to me so I don't feel comfortable doing it myself, thanks.
