@@ -10,6 +10,10 @@ This rule can produce messages such:
   languages that support it.
 - `name[missing]` - All tasks should be named.
 - `name[play]` - All plays should be named.
+- `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
