 Another great way to start contributing is by writing tests. Tests are really important because they help prevent developers from accidentally breaking existing code, allowing them to build cool things faster. If you're interested in helping out, let the development team know by posting to the `developers' mailing list`_, and we'll help you get started.

 Instructions for making a code change

 Specific commandments

 - Avoid using "double quotes" where you can reasonably use 'single quotes'.

 AssertEqual argument order
-######################
+--------------------------

- assertEqual method's arguments should be in ('actual', 'expected') order.
+assertEqual method's arguments should be in ('actual', 'expected') order.

 Properly calling callables

+--------------------------

 Methods, functions and classes can specify optional parameters (with default
 values) using Python's keyword arg syntax. When providing a value to such a
-callable we prefer that the call also uses keyword arg syntax. For example:
+callable we prefer that the call also uses keyword arg syntax. For example::

-.. code-block:: python
+    # GOOD
+    f(0, optional=True)

-   # GOOD
-   f(0, optional=True)
-
-   # BAD
-   f(0, True)
+    # BAD
+    f(0, True)

 This gives us the flexibility to re-order arguments and more importantly
 to add new required arguments. It's also more explicit and easier to read.

 Properly defining optional arguments

-It's always good to not initialize optional arguments at class creation,
-instead use ``**kwargs`` to get them. It's well known Telegram API can
-change without notice, in that case if a new argument is added it won't

-# Examples
-
-The examples in this folder are small bots meant to show you how a bot that is written with `python-telegram-bot` looks like. Some bots focus on one specific aspect of the Telegram Bot API while others focus on one of the mechanics of this library. Except for the `echobot.py` example, they all use the high-level framework this library provides with the `telegram.ext` submodule.
-
-All examples are licensed under the [CC0 License](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/LICENSE.txt) and are therefore fully dedicated to the public domain. You can use them as the base for your own bots without worrying about copyrights.
-
-### [`echobot2.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/echobot2.py) 
-This is probably the base for most of the bots made with `python-telegram-bot`. It simply replies to each text message with a message that contains the same text.
-
-### [`timerbot.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/timerbot.py) 
-This bot uses the [`JobQueue`](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/telegram.ext.jobqueue.html) class to send timed messages. The user sets a timer by using `/set` command with a specific time, for example `/set 30`. The bot then sets up a job to send a message to that user after 30 seconds. The user can also cancel the timer by sending `/unset`. To learn more about the `JobQueue`, read [this wiki article](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions-%E2%80%93-JobQueue).
-
-### [`conversationbot.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/conversationbot.py)
-A common task for a bot is to ask information from the user. In v5.0 of this library, we introduced the [`ConversationHandler`](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/telegram.ext.conversationhandler.html) for that exact purpose. This example uses it to retrieve user-information in a conversation-like style. To get a better understanding, take a look at the [state diagram](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/conversationbot.png).
-
-### [`conversationbot2.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/conversationbot2.py)
-A more complex example of a bot that uses the `ConversationHandler`. It is also more confusing. Good thing there is a [fancy state diagram](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/conversationbot2.png) for this one, too!
-
-### [`inlinekeyboard.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/inlinekeyboard.py)
-This example sheds some light on inline keyboards, callback queries and message editing.
-
-### [`inlinebot.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/inlinebot.py)
-A basic example of an [inline bot](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline). Don't forget to enable inline mode with [@BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather).
-
-## Pure API
-The [`echobot.py`](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/echobot.py) example uses only the pure, "bare-metal" API wrapper.

-class ConversationHandler(Handler):
-    """
-    A handler to hold a conversation with a user by managing four collections of other handlers.
-
-    The first collection, a ``list`` named ``entry_points``, is used to initiate the conversation,
-    for example with a ``CommandHandler`` or ``RegexHandler``.
-
-    The second collection, a ``dict`` named ``states``, contains the different conversation steps
-    and one or more associated handlers that should be used if the user sends a message when the
-    conversation with them is currently in that state. You will probably use mostly
-    ``MessageHandler`` and ``RegexHandler`` here.
-
-    The third collection, a ``list`` named ``fallbacks``, is used if the user is currently in a
-    conversation but the state has either no associated handler or the handler that is associated
-    to the state is inappropriate for the update, for example if the update contains a command, but
-    a regular text message is expected. You could use this for a ``/cancel`` command or to let the
-    user know their message was not recognized.
-
-    The fourth, optional collection of handlers, a ``list`` named ``timed_out_behavior`` is used if
-    the wait for ``run_async`` takes longer than defined in ``run_async_timeout``. For example,
-    you can let the user know that they should wait for a bit before they can continue.
-
-    To change the state of conversation, the callback function of a handler must return the new
-    state after responding to the user. If it does not return anything (returning ``None`` by
-    default), the state will not change. To end the conversation, the callback function must
-    return ``CallbackHandler.END`` or ``-1``.
-
-    Args:
-        entry_points (list): A list of ``Handler`` objects that can trigger the start of the
-            conversation. The first handler which ``check_update`` method returns ``True`` will be
-            used. If all return ``False``, the update is not handled.
-        states (dict): A ``dict[object: list[Handler]]`` that defines the different states of
-            conversation a user can be in and one or more associated ``Handler`` objects that
-            should be used in that state. The first handler which ``check_update`` method returns
-            ``True`` will be used.
-        fallbacks (list): A list of handlers that might be used if the user is in a conversation,
-            but every handler for their current state returned ``False`` on ``check_update``.
-            The first handler which ``check_update`` method returns ``True`` will be used. If all
-            return ``False``, the update is not handled.
-        allow_reentry (Optional[bool]): If set to ``True``, a user that is currently in a
-            conversation can restart the conversation by triggering one of the entry points.
-        run_async_timeout (Optional[float]): If the previous handler for this user was running
-            asynchronously using the ``run_async`` decorator, it might not be finished when the
-            next message arrives. This timeout defines how long the conversation handler should
-            wait for the next state to be computed. The default is ``None`` which means it will
-            wait indefinitely.
-        timed_out_behavior (Optional[list]): A list of handlers that might be used if
-            the wait for ``run_async`` timed out. The first handler which ``check_update`` method
-            returns ``True`` will be used. If all return ``False``, the update is not handled.
