 ====================
 
-Anything in the ``redbot.core`` module or any of its submodules 
-which is not private (even if not documented) should not break without notice.
+Any name (function, class, attribute) listed in the ``__all__`` attribute of
+the ``redbot`` module (excluding its submodules), ``redbot.core`` package,
+or any of its public submodules (modules that do not start with "_")
+is considered a public API and should not break without notice.
+
+Methods of public classes are considered public if they do not start with "_"
+or are dunder methods (e.g. ``method()`` and ``__getattr__()`` are public but ``_method()`` isn't).
+
+Any other name (function, class, attribute) in the ``redbot`` package is considered private,
+even if it doesn't start with "_".
+Lack of ``__all__`` in the module means that all of its names are considered private APIs.
 
 Anything in the ``redbot.cogs`` and ``redbot.vendored`` modules or any of their submodules is specifically
 excluded from being guaranteed.

 Any RPC method exposed by Red may break without notice.

 If you would like something in here to be guaranteed,
 open an issue making a case for it to be moved.
