Hi Lili!

My suggestion is to use mediawiki's template system to avoid 
duplicating the same steps in multiple test cases. I actually already 
did this for some of the partitioning test cases, but not all. You can 
look at the test cases in the "Guided storage configuration" section 
for ideas.

There are already four templates you can use:

{{Template:Partitioning_single_setup}} (for the "setup" section)
{{Template:Partitioning_actions}} (for the first few "actions" steps)
{{Template:Partitioning_actions_post}} (for after all test-case 
specific steps, it just says 'complete the install making sensible 
choices for everything else')
{{Template:Partitioning_results}} (for the results - it's a generic 
text which should apply to all/most partitioning test cases)

It would make sense to add a new template, something like 
Template:Partitioning_custom_single_blank , which would have the steps:

# Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the 
installation target disk.
# Ensure the option to configure partitioning yourself is selected, 
and complete this screen.
# On the ''MANUAL PARTITIONING'' screen, delete all existing 
partitions (if any).

Then each test case could add the steps unique to itself, e.g.:

|setup=
{{Template:Partitioning_single_setup}}
|actions=
{{Template:Partitioning_actions}}
{{Template:Partitioning_custom_single_blank}}
# Pick 'btrfs' from the ''New mount points will use the following 
partitioning scheme:'' drop-down
# Click the ''Click here to create them automatically'' link
# Click ''Done''
# {{Template:Partitioning_actions_post}}
|results=
{{Template:Partitioning_results}}

for the btrfs test case, and:

|setup=
{{Template:Partitioning_single_setup}}
|actions=
{{Template:Partitioning_actions}}
{{Template:Partitioning_custom_single_blank}}
# Pick 'Standard partition' from the ''New mount points will use the 
following partitioning scheme:'' drop-down
# Click the ''Click here to create them automatically'' link
# Change the '''File System''' drop-down to ''xfs'', and click 
''Update settings''
# Click ''Done''
# {{Template:Partitioning_actions_post}}
|results=
{{Template:Partitioning_results}}

for the XFS test case.

Yep, I agree with this. It would be best to make some little changes 
to the test case text as well to make it match the F21+ changes a bit 
more (that is, refer specifically to 'Fedora Workstation' instead of 
'the default package set, or using the default live image').
