No, all you need is 'django.template.context_processors.static' included in the context_processors section of the TEMPLATES' OPTIONS in your settings.py.

And what in case of <script src="{% static 'common/js/jquery.js' %}" type="text/javascript"></script>

In that case, {% load static %} or {% load staticfiles %} is necessary - nb. in Django 1.10 {% load staticfiles %} exists for backward compatibility and will probably be deprecated in 2.0.
