# Rename always_run to checkmode_run
*Author*: René Moser <@resmo>
*Date*: 02/03/2016
## Motivation
The task argument `always_run` is misleading.
Ansible is known to be readable by users without deep knowledge of creating playbooks, they do not understand
what `always_run` does at the first glance.
### Problems
The following looks scary if you have no idea, what `always_run` does:
```
- shell: dangerous_cleanup.sh
when: cleanup == "yes"
always_run: yes
```
You have a conditional but also a word that says `always`. This is a conflict in terms of understanding.
## Solution Proposal
Deprecate `always_run` by rename it to `checkmode_run`:
```
- shell: dangerous_cleanup.sh
when: cleanup == "yes"
checkmode_run: yes
```
