Hello.

In the examples of the mongodb\_user module, there's the option "name",  
but it isn't mentioned in the table.  
should that be like this?

The name field is an alias for user. Feel free to open a github issue regarding this, as it is a little confusing (and the examples should use the correct field names, not aliases).

Thanks!

Just to clarify, what should happen here is the correct field name should be “name” in most cases.

The documentation should definitely standardize on “name” for many modules so you don’t have to guess what the identifying parameter is.

(We do this with our package modules, so you don’t get inconsistency between package or pkg or, etc)
