Updates to Django

Last week we had 9 pull requests merged into Django by 6 different contributors - including 1 first time contributor! Congratulations to lufafajoshua for having their first commit merged into Django - welcome on board!

This week mostly featured a number of small documentation and test improvements. Though a 14 year old bug also got closed!

Previously a query string (which is used to pre-fill the form) would be lost when using "Save and continue/add another" in the admin (#12241) - but now this is fixed! Congratulations to Mariana for pushing this over the line! 🎉

To everyone participating in the sprints at DjangoCon US and online - I hope you all have an amazing time!
