You can change the property categorie of the class Article like this   categorie   models ForeignKey       Categorie       on delete models CASCADE      and the error should disappear   Eventually you might need another option for on delete  check the documentation for more details   https   docs djangoproject com en 1 11 ref models fields  django db models ForeignKey  EDIT   As you stated in your comment  that you don t have any special requirements for on delete  you could use the option DO NOTHING         on delete models DO NOTHING

Since Django 2 x  on delete is required    Django Documentation     Deprecated since version 1 9  on delete will become a required   argument in Django 2 0  In older versions it defaults to CASCADE

Since Django 2 0 the ForeignKey field requires two positional arguments    the model to map to the on delete argument   categorie   models ForeignKey  Categorie   on delete models PROTECT    Here are some methods can used in on delete   CASCADE   Cascade deletes  Django emulates the behavior of the SQL constraint ON DELETE CASCADE and also deletes the object containing the ForeignKey   PROTECT   Prevent deletion of the referenced object by raising ProtectedError  a subclass of django db IntegrityError    DO NOTHING   Take no action  If your database backend enforces referential integrity  this will cause an IntegrityError unless you manually add an SQL ON DELETE constraint to the database field   you can find more about on delete by reading the documentation

Post Django version 1 9  on delete became a required argument  i e  from Django 2 0    In older versions  it defaults to CASCADE   So  if you want to replicate the functionality that you used in earlier versions  Use the following argument  categorie   models ForeignKey  Categorie   on delete   models CASCADE   This will have the same effect as that was in earlier versions  without specifying it explicitly  Official Documentation on other arguments that go with on delete

If you are using foreignkey then you have to use  on delete models CASCADE  as it will eliminate the complexity developed after deleting the original element from the parent table  As simple as that   categorie   models ForeignKey  Categorie   on delete models CASCADE

If you don t know which option to enter the params  Just want to keep the default value like on delete None before migration      on delete models CASCADE   This is a code snippet in the old version   if on delete is None      warnings warn           on delete will be a required arg for  s in Django 2 0  Set            it to models CASCADE on models and in existing migrations            if you want to maintain the current default behavior             See https   docs djangoproject com en  s ref models fields             django db models ForeignKey on delete                  self   class     name                get docs version                       RemovedInDjango20Warning  2      on delete   CASCADE
