Comment:
There's a big warning about this in the first mention of template names in
the tutorial, recommending the use of a subfolder -
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial03/#a-shortcut-render
This is further explained, along with the way multiple backends are
resolved in the API docs.
Adding such a warning would require additional work every time a template
is selected - and would be specific to one template engine. It would
generate unnecessary noise in the common, documented in the tutorial
pattern of overriding an admin template with one in your own app.
+1 to using debug toolbar.
I don't see an obvious opportunity for more documentation as they way it
works is mentioned several times in the API docs and twice in the
tutorial. Adding warnings would generate unnecessary noise. Template
overriding is an important feature. Consequently, I am closing this
ticket.
