Yes, I meant, but failed to say, "it won't be discussed because it isn't
done" :) The comments in this section (click edit) explain which
category the page needs to be in:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EmptyTemplate#Comments_and_Discussion
Will added some more details to the template and has renamed that
section "How To Test". Click "edit" for that section to see the
suggestions.
