Description
Very simple correction:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/forms/modelforms/#providing-initial-values
This line: form = ArticleForm(initial={'headline': 'Initial headline'), instance=article)
Should be: form = ArticleForm(initial={'headline': 'Initial headline'}, instance=article)
I'm not sure where to submit this

Hi,
Thanks for spotting that, it's definitely a mistake.
To fix it, you can probably just use the github editor to submit a pull request for this file: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/docs/topics/forms/modelforms.txt#L693
You can come ask on IRC on the #django-dev channel if you need more guidance.
