As per Microsoft's advice] we use the HTML5 document type: `<!DOCTYPE
html>`. Document modes have been deprecated since 2013 and "should not be
used".
If you want this you can create your own `admin/base.html`, as per the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/overriding-templates/
Overriding templates docs].
Give it the following content to add the meta tag to the existing block:
{{{
{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% block extrahead %}
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=11" />
{% endblock %}
}}}
