Does enablerepo= enable that specific repo only, meaning that I would  
not need to have a disablerepo action before the enable?

enablerepo just does the same as adding --enablerepo on the yum command line.

so - you'd want to disable other repos, too if you only want a specific repo to be accessed.

Well I'm getting the error -

failed: [x.0.1.1] =\> {"failed": true, "msg": "unsupported parameter  
for module: disablerepo"}

My playbook has the following action before my enablerepo action -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;action: yum disablerepo=\*.repo

Do I just need to manually put all the repos in there... ?

your repos aren't named \*.repo

I suspect the repo FILES in /etc/yum.repos.d are named .repo - but the repo ids (the things in inside those files are not named .repo.
