     /// ### What it does
     /// Checks for names that are very similar and thus confusing.
     ///
+    /// Note: this lint looks for similar names throughout each
+    /// scope. To allow it, you need to allow it on the scope
+    /// level, not on the name that is reported.
+    ///
     /// ### Why is this bad?
     /// It's hard to distinguish between names that differ only
     /// by a single character.
