Hi everyone,

in the ''dev'' version of the documentation, we can see it correctly that
the default value for DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD is:
`django.db.models.BigAutoField` {1} but it is not the case in the docs
versions of 5.2 {2} and 4.2 {3} which both have the default value which is
mentioned in the ''dev'' version but the respected docs have not been
updated and mentions the old default value which was
`'django.db.models.AutoField'`

Comment:

The documentation is correct (the dev documentation changed in #36564).
Your confusion may be that in older versions, the default startproject
template had `DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'`.
That's different from the default value in `django.conf.global_settings`.
