I'd say it would go in category:test_plans, as it's clearly a test plan
not a test case. Note we do have several existing FreeIPA test cases -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FreeIPA_Test_Cases - though no
389-ds specific ones I know of. I would probably just name it
"QA:Allow_turning_off_vattr_lookup_Test_Plan" - I guess you copied the
inclusion of a date from the 'anaconda usability test plan', but that
was done because that test plan was actually tied to an event occurring
on a specific date, it's probably not necessary/appropriate for this
test plan.

My personal inclination would be to create individual test case pages
using the test case template for each of the test cases you currently
include as entries in the "How" column of the table - it might make the
table a bit cleaner, and it would also have the advantage that if we
ever do implement a better TCMS, we'd probably be able to migrate your
cases to it automatically (we're vaguely assuming we'll write some kind
of script to hoover up all pages using the 'test case' template and
convert them to whatever TCMS we eventually, possibly, use).

Thanks for working on this. I'm curious as to the context: is this
really a Fedora-level effort, or is it more 389-ds upstream-level? What
are the other test plans you are planning to work on? Thanks!
