For users with JavaScript-enabled browsers, an "Add another" link is

The dynamic link will not appear if the number of currently displayed

Changes to the interpretation of``max_num`` in FormSets
-------------------------------------------------------
As part of enhancements made to the handling of FormSets, the default
value and interpretation of the ``max_num`` parameter to the
:ref:`django.forms.formsets.formset_factory() <formsets-max-num>` and
:ref:`django.forms.models.modelformset_factory()
<model-formsets-max-num>` functions has changed slightly. This
change also affects the way the ``max_num`` argument is :ref:`used for
inline admin objects <ref-contrib-admin-inline-max-num>`
Previously, the default value for ``max_num`` was ``0`` (zero).
FormSets then used the boolean value of ``max_num`` to determine if a
limit was to be imposed on the number of generated forms. The default
value of ``0`` meant that there was no default limit on the number of
forms in a FormSet.
Starting with 1.2, the default value for ``max_num`` has been changed
to ``None``, and FormSets will differentiate between a value of
``None`` and a value of ``0``. A value of ``None`` indicates that no
limit on the number of forms is to be imposed; a value of ``0``
indicates that a maximum of 0 forms should be imposed. This doesn't
necessarily mean that no forms will be displayed -- see the
:ref:`ModelFormSet documentation <model-formsets-max-num>` for more
details.
If you were manually specifying a value of ``0`` for ``max_num``, you
will need to update your FormSet and/or admin definitions.

If a user has JavaScript enabled in their browser, the interface for
