Thank you, Ed, for that excellent reading! That explains a lot of

Not a surprise.... :-)

1) is network.target.wants equivalent to run level 2,
multi-user.target.wants would be run level 3, and graphical is similar
to run level 5 of chkconfig? Thus, I need to put the service in the
all the desired targets similar to turning on each run level of
chkconfig, right?

Well, that isn't necessary......

If you installed mysql, for example, there will be a
/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service file. When mysql is installed it defaults to
being disabled, as shown in the output of the systemctl command below.

[egreshko@meimei system]$ systemctl status mysqld.service
mysqld.service - MySQL database server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysqld.service

To enable it on boot, just do

systemctl enable mysqld.service

See....

2) The wiki mention using .include but I didn't quite get that part.
I was looking for a configuration of some kind to use but I ended up
making a symlink like existing services in /etc/systemd/system.

No need to worry about all of that unless you are creating your own services. i.e.
those not installed via rpm from fedora.
