+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this bad?
+    /// Triple-slash comments (known as "outer doc comments") apply to items that follow it.
+    /// An outer doc comment followed by a bang (i.e. `///!`) has no specific meaning.
+    ///
+    /// The user most likely meant to write an inner doc comment (`//!`, `/*!`), which
+    /// applies to the parent item (i.e. the item that the comment is contained in,
+    /// usually a module or crate).
+    ///
+    /// ### Known problems
+    /// Inner doc comments can only appear before items, so there are certain cases where the suggestion
+    /// made by this lint is not valid code. For example:
+    /// ```rs
+    /// fn foo() {}
+    /// ///!
+    /// fn bar() {}
+    /// ```
+    /// This lint detects the doc comment and suggests changing it to `//!`, but an inner doc comment
+    /// is not valid at that position.
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    /// In this example, the doc comment is attached to the *function*, rather than the *module*.
+    /// ```no_run
+    /// pub mod util {
+    ///     ///! This module contains utility functions.
+    ///
+    ///     pub fn dummy() {}
+    /// }
+    /// ```
+    ///
+    /// Use instead:
+    /// ```no_run
+    /// pub mod util {
+    ///     //! This module contains utility functions.
