It could be useful for beginners like me to know that without adding:
"django.core.context_processors.media",
to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS, you will not get MEDIA_URL in your
template. I found it easily on stack overflow though.
But it was not here:

Comment:
I'm not sure that's the best page for mentioning this as there's no
example of referring to uploaded files in templates.
There's a warning in the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/settings/ settings docs]: "Be
careful when you override settings, especially when the default value is a
non-empty tuple or dictionary, such as MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. Make sure you keep the components required by
the features of Django you wish to use."
I think if you had seen that, you'd probably have looked at the initial
`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` list and checked what each of them did. What
do you think?

I'm not sure, I think it is obvious to you that the problem is due to
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. But to a beginner, is obvious only what shows
up using Google. And the two first pages that I found using "MEDIA_URL
django" were the one you mentioned and the one I mentioned.
Also, even if the beginner is smarter than me and search for the template
context processors,he'll google both "context_processors.media" or
"django.core.context_processors.media", and find no explanation.
I thought static files was a better place to add some section about
templates because it is more "focused", settings page looks like a big
dictionary. But really it is up to you.

oh... I just got what you meant. Actually, I don't remember having
modified these settings. Maybe inadvertently. Sorry, English is not my
mother tongue.
