Django’s documentation is excellent, but parts of the wiki are out of date.

This page has barely been updated in the last four years. It mentions MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES (deprecated in Django 1.10) and using strings in url() (deprecated in Django 1.8). There may well be other bits which are out of date.

The entries in the faq [1] are more likely to be kept up to date.

The wiki (at code.djangoproject.com/wiki) is community-maintained, and not part of the official documentation, and yes, very often out of date.

The official documentation (at docs.djangoproject.com) is scrupulously maintained, and excellently written.

Thanks for the clarification. My point was that this wiki page is out of date so probably not that useful. I could have been clearer that the wiki is not part of the official documentation.
