This bug describes issues of this documentation page:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/initial-data/
The same issues exist in master branch as of today.
According to many sources (e.g.
https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2015/11/10/initial-data-django/ ),
fixtures are deprecated way for managing initial data. It is not mentioned
there. Also it doesn't describe how to use migrations for that purpose.
Link to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/migrations/#data-
migrations would be extremely useful.

This also came up in #28983 (closed as worksforme). I have a couple ideas
in mind about how to improve that page and will propose a patch.
