+### YAML Checks
+
+Puppet Lint can check Hiera YAML files for legacy facts.
+
+For example, the following YAML would trigger warnings:
+
+```yaml
+hierarchy:
+  - name: "Legacy Facts Example"
+    paths:
+      - "os/%{facts.hostname}.yaml"
+      - "/var/www/%{::hostname}.yaml"
+      - "%{::bios_vendor}.yaml"
+```
+
