makemigrations does not find installed apps

[waspinator]

If you delete migrations inside the data directory, python manage.py makemigrations won't recreate them. You have to specify python manage.py makemigrations data

In more complicated setups with multiple interdependent apps, it won't migrate them at all, even with the explicit option.

Not sure if this should still be open, but this is from the docs:

To add migrations to an app that doesn't have a migrations directory, run makemigrations with the app's app_label.

There are no issues here.
