+# name
+
+This rule identifies several problems related to the naming of tasks and plays.
+This is important because these names are the primary way to **identify** and
+**document** executed operations on the console, logs or web interface.
+
+This rule can produce messages as:
+
+- `name[casing]` - All names should start with an uppercase letter for languages
+  that support it.
+- `name[missing]` - All tasks should be named.
+- `name[play]` - All plays should be named.
+- `name[prefix]` - Prefix task names in sub-tasks files. (opt-in)
+- `name[template]` - Jinja templates should only be at the end of 'name'. This
+  helps with the identification of tasks inside the source code when they fail.
+  The use of templating inside `name` keys is discouraged as there are multiple
+  cases where the rendering of the name template is not possible.
+
+If you want to ignore some of the messages above, you can add any of them to the
+`skip_list`.
+
+## name[prefix]
+
+This rule applies only to included task files that are not named `main.yml`. It
+suggests adding the stem of the file as a prefix to the task name.
+
+For example, if you have a task named `Restart server` inside a file named
+`tasks/deploy.yml`, this rule suggests renaming it to `deploy | Restart server`,
+so it would be easier to identify where it comes from.
+
+For the moment, this sub-rule is just an **opt-in**, so you need to add it to
+your `enable_list` to activate it.
+
+!!! note
+
+    This rule was designed by [Red Hat Community of Practice](https://redhat-cop.github.io/automation-good-practices/#_prefix_task_names_in_sub_tasks_files_of_roles). The reasoning behind it being
+    that in a complex roles or playbooks with multiple (sub-)tasks file, it becomes
+    difficult to understand which task belongs to which file. Adding a prefix, in
+    combination with the role’s name automatically added by Ansible, makes it a
+    lot easier to follow and troubleshoot a role play.
+
+## Problematic code
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: localhost # <-- playbook name[play]
+  tasks:
+    - name: create placefolder file # <-- name[casing] due lack of capital letter
+      ansible.builtin.command: touch /tmp/.placeholder
+```
+
+## Correct code
+
+```yaml
+---
+- name: Play for creating placeholder
+  hosts: localhost
+  tasks:
+    - name: Create placeholder file
+      ansible.builtin.command: touch /tmp/.placeholder
+```
