 ## Abstract
 
+This proposal started life as [RFC 72 for Wagtail](https://github.com/wagtail/rfcs/pull/72), but has been adapted to be generic to Django.
+
 Django currently doesn't have a first-party solution for long-running tasks. Other frameworks such as Laravel have background workers, allowing them to push tasks into the background to be processed at a later date, without requiring the end user to wait for them to occur.
 
 One of the key goals behind this proposal is removing the requirement for the user to wait for tasks they don't need to, moving computation and complexity out of the request-response cycle, towards dedicated background worker processes.
