Replying to [comment:3 Tim Graham]:
> It seems like a basic understanding of how the URL system works would
get you to the right answer, but... would it be more clear to you if it
said, "you can do this by adding the following snippet to your
`ROOT_URLCONF`" (changing `urls.py` to `ROOT_URLCONF`). I don't think
referencing the filenames in the tutorial here is a good idea.
Yes, probably. I'm just saying it's an easy mistake to make for a beginner
who sees Django for the first time in their life and don't know the
details of its URL system, structuring the app, etc. And it's hard to
identify and fix that mistake for a beginner.
