**Background:** From working on #26975 and from reading discussion on the
[[https://github.com/django/django/pull/6996#issuecomment-238020222|first
PR]] it looks like the current documentation of fixtures requires some
work.
Currently information about fixtures is dispersed between different parts
of the docs:
* general definition of fixtures lives under reference for `loaddata`
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-
admin/#what-s-a-fixture|command]]
* example of the hand written fixture is in the
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/|Initial data
how-to guide]]
* other bits one can find in
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/tools/#fixture-
loading|testing tools]]
There are places where fixtures are mentioned without any prior
explanation and without any link to more information, like in `dumpdata`
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#fixtures-
compression|command docs]]
There are places where fixtures should be mentioned by name but are not,
like
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/serialization/|seriaIization
Topic]]
Looks like creation of the separate Topic under
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/|Models and databases]]
could be the solution.
