In part 7 of the tutorial, I cannot find any file called “base\_site.html” in the Django template directory. I did find a Python file called “base”, but it doesn’t seem to contain the code required in the next part of the tutorial:

```auto
{{ site_header|default:_('Django administration') }} 

```

Apologies; I have found the file. It was located in Python312\Lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\admin\base\_site.html

Hopefully this helps anyone else who struggles locating it.
