Bug Description

At https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html the mentioned file name is:
    com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla
But on my trusty tahr system it is only:
    enable-hibernate.pkla
... and it works.

If the file name doesn't matter, please communicate it on that help page.

So yes, the file extension should be .pkla, and beyond that the technical requirement is that the name is "unique".

However, I don't think it would add much value to add that info to the help page, so I keep it as is for now.
