Yeah, the UI has indeed changed, and apparently that affects not only
disk-check.page.
When changing, don't forget that there is a GNOME equivalent:
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.22/disk-format.html.en
After having formatted it using Disks, you only have unallocated space,
so you need to also create a partition, but you can do that with Disks
as well. It's Disks we should describe at first hand, since it's the
tool which is included on an Ubuntu desktop by default.

Title:
Formatting a removable disk
Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The GUI for the Disks application must have been changed in the last
few years so disk-format.html needs to be revised. The Disks
application now seems to hide as many of the technical details as it
can (which in theory I think is a good idea).
I have a problem in that when I format a USB flash drive using Disks
(Ubuntu 16.04) - no error is reported during formatting - but Ubuntu
then doesn't recognise the drive. When I create a partition and format
it using Gparted it works fine. Ive only tried this with one USB flash
drive, so the problem may be specific to that drive (or not). If Disks
doesn't work correctly, we can document how to format a removable disk
by using Gparted?
