In the forms documentation, there are several references to the forms'
templates from the perspective of needing to customize them. A next
logical step is to reproduce that file and tweak it for a developer's own
needs. We should consider adding links to the source code for these
templates to make that reproduction a bit easier. Not every developer
realizes they can search `site-packages/django` for the templates.
I'm proposing anywhere render a value like `django/forms/field.html` we
add a source link.
This would involve 53 changes across the following files (this was a crude
search and could be wrong):
- docs/ref/forms/api.txt
- docs/ref/forms/fields.txt
- docs/ref/forms/renderers.txt
- docs/ref/forms/widgets.txt
- docs/topics/forms/index.txt
- docs/topics/forms/formsets.txt
