+| All Ansible Yaml files MUST have a .yml extension (and NOT .YML, .yaml etc).
+|===
+
+Ansible tooling (like `ansible-galaxy init`) create files with a .yml extension. Also, the Ansible documentation website references files with a .yml extension several times. Because of this, it is normal in the Ansible community to use a .yml extension for all Ansible Yaml files.
