-You should make sure that the namespace you use is not registered by someone else by checking on `Ansible Galaxy's namespace list <https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/namespaces/>`__. If you chose a namespace or even a full collection name that collides with another collection on Galaxy, it can happen that if you or someone else runs ``ansible-galaxy collection install`` with your collection name, you end up with another collection.

-  The `ansible namespace <https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/namespaces/ansible/>`__ is owned by Red Hat and reserved for official Ansible collections. Two special members are the synthetic ``ansible.builtin`` and ``ansible.legacy`` collections. These cannot be found on Ansible Galaxy, but are built-in into ansible-core.
