The page does say - three lines down from the top: "You can add new facts by writing a snippet of ruby code. Puppet uses the Plugins InModules approach to distribute these facts to your hosts." But yes it was a little confusing. I've edited the page to make it easier to understand. Please let me know if that has helped. The wiki is also open to be edited. Please feel free to create a login and update the documentation if you would prefer.
