Can you please check if this is somewhere in the docs and is correct? And if not, could you maybe add this to quick docs please? It comes up quite often.
For what question specifically? There actually is a bit in the quick docs about resetting the root password from live media which I just found. Though if Fedora really does disable root by default (I dunno, haven’t installed from scratch in a long while), maybe the exact specifics of that question/answer should be changed.

I ran into the same misunderstanding that Profile - pizzapablo666 - Fedora Discussion ran into: adding groups to user accounts. The simple answer was
sudo groupmems -g group -a user
and NOT to use groupmod. I also ran into the same predicament: user is no longer in the wheel group.
The fix was somewhat in the docs: boot from a livecd (fedora 33), select repair a faulty install, choose 1) Continue, mount root and
groupmod -G wheel user
, exit.

Another “safe” command to use is gpasswd:
sudo gpasswd wheel -a username
… which adds user username to group wheel.
