Why?

the ubuntu page is way better than a man page. It provides examples, modification and what it does feature-wise.

Manned is for last resorts when there is nothing else, correct?

Nevermind, I see its use. I hadn't looked at the other PR.

I can't tell which is better however I am willing to have either

@CleanMachine1 I believe that a link to a wiki page is better than the same man page that the user has in the CLI, but this was the decision that we made in #5510 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, generally we only go for a man page if there's nothing else that's appropriate, though it's really a case-by-case thing.

Believe it or not, UFW is actually Ubuntu-specific as best I can tell - at least it started that way. To that end, the Ubuntu wiki page is more informative here.

UFW was made for ubuntu to my knowledge however seems to adopted from uncomplicated nature.

@navarroaxel as far as I can remember we only made a decision for which man page side we should use as default. We always preferred Wikis or Homepages over man pages.
