@ -330,13 +330,15 @@ Per playbook best practices, each example should include a ``name:`` line::
EXAMPLES = r'''
- name: Ensure foo is installed
modulename:
namespace.collection.modulename:
name: foo
state: present
'''
The ``name:`` line should be capitalized and not include a trailing dot.
Use a fully qualified collection name (FQCN) as a part of the module's name like in the example above. For modules in ``ansible-base``, use the ``ansible.builtin.`` identifier, for example ``ansible.builtin.debug``.
If your examples use boolean options, use yes/no values. Since the documentation generates boolean values as yes/no, having the examples use these values as well makes the module documentation more consistent.
If your module returns facts that are often needed, an example of how to use them can be helpful.
