How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service iptables save

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  save iptables.service
Unknown operation save

Expected results:

This should not be a duplicate of #748134 as it is a bug with the documentation.

The guide at 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Security_Guide/sect-Security_Guide-Using_IPTables-Saving_and_Restoring_IPTables_Rules.html 

still says "service iptables save" is how you save iptables rules. This should be /usr/libexec/iptables.init save
