(see the upgrade instructions)
I did that before opening this thread:

(release notes)
I had already seen those, too.  They do not tell me things I should do before upgrading to prevent trouble.  For example, I don't recall the f30 release notes telling me to back up each user's .thunderbird before doing the upgrade.

(Fedora magazine article)
That tells me nothing more than what the upgrade instructions say.

If, as Ger implies, there's nothing (more) that I need to do beforehand, that's fine.

Y'all are missing something.
The upgrade instructions advise (I realize this is not required):
"WARNING .... As a precaution, download the Fedora Workstation Live image <https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/> in the event something goes wrong." The Fedora Workstation Live image is not needed as a part of the upgrade process proper, but in case something goes wrong.  If someone does an upgrade, and then afterwards can't log in, or worse, can't boot successfully, then he has something to fall back on.  Power down, plug the USB stick with the Fedora Workstation Live image on it into one of the workstation's USB ports, power up, and he has at least some functionality, hopefully enough to diagnose and fix whatever went wrong.  This is also useful when other uncommon things go wrong (e.g. hard drive problem, as I learned almost 3 years ago!).

(Fedora Media Writer)
Already have it.  I could not find a man page for it.
bash.1[~]: man mediawriter
No manual entry for mediawriter
bash.2[~]: which mediawriter
/usr/bin/mediawriter
bash.3[~]:
Tried it anyway.  I saw no way of getting f30 onto my USB stick.
"https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/"; also gives no hint of a way of making an f30 Fedora Workstation Live image. If something goes wrong with upgrading to f31 via dnf, I want f30 on the USB stick, not f31!
Back to original question #2:
"How do a make an f30 Fedora Workstation Live image on my USB stick?"
... or is this now impossible?
