Add WAGTAILADMIN_BASE_URL setting to all Django settings files to fix the wagtailadmin.W003 warning that appeared during system checks. The project had a BASE_URL setting but Wagtail expects the setting to be named WAGTAILADMIN_BASE_URL for admin URLs outside the admin interface. Changes: - base.py: Set WAGTAILADMIN_BASE_URL = BASE_URL (https://python.ie) - tests.py: Override with http://testserver for test environment - dev.py: Override with http://localhost:8000 for local development This ensures admin URLs in notification emails and the user bar will display correctly in all environments.
