The documentation for the
[`DIRS`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/templates/api/#the-
dirs-option) template setting states that
> This should be set to a list of strings that contain **full paths** to
your template directories
However, the documentation for the
[`TemplatesSetting`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/forms/renderers/#templatessetting)
class tells us:
> Adding the built-in widgets templates directory
(**django/forms/templates** or **django/forms/jinja2**) in `DIRS` of one
of your template engines.
That is, it says to add a relative path to the `DIRS` setting, which
contradicts the documentation for `DIRS`.
