We decided to start a Review of older Quick Docs articles:
URL: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/how-to-edit-iptables-rules/
First impression: As to my knowledge, it is completely outdated and should be removed.
Metadata Update from @pboy: - Issue assigned to pboy
Metadata Update from @pboy: - Issue priority set to: None (was: awaiting triage)
There is an old wiki page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_edit_iptables_rules
Redirected it to the (new) Fedora tools page (as an improvisation and interim solution.) The wiki page should be deleted by infra.
Removed the article as outdated without replacement from Quick Docs. Added :page-aliase: to admin tool's-box index page. Added firewalld to admin tool's-box index page.
Old URL (now missing) https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/how-to-edit-iptables-rules/
Path asciidoc: ~/modules/ROOT/pages/how-to-edit-iptables-rules.adoc
No objection raised against removal.
Metadata Update from @pboy: - Issue close_status updated to: complete - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
@pboy -- turns out this page is one of the top google hits for the wiki still last year. Before I noticed this, I changed the redirect to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/firewalld/, which i think is probably more useful than the tools page for most people. But that was a very arbitrary fast edit, so I'm not committed to it!
@mattdm You are right, that redirect provides a more relevant information. It only may come as a surprise. Someone is looking for iptables and get a firewalld page, without any explanation like outdated, no longer used, successor is firewalld. But I was not finished with that, and I'm too busy with more important issues. :-)
