When writing content outside of the | When writing content outside of the user-space, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_person third-person writing style] should be used. Other writing styles are acceptable, depending upon the particular context of the article; however, any factual content created to serve as an informative article (e.g., guides and references) should be written in the third person. This is more clear and professional and not as prone to degenerating into a mess of first-second person reversions. Any content existing outside the user-space that is not written in the third person should be corrected accordingly. Examples: | ||
* {{Fc|red|First person: "I first must click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | * {{Fc|red|First person: "I first must click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | ||
* {{Fc|red|Second person: "You first must click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | * {{Fc|red|Second person: "You first must click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | ||
* {{Fc|green|Third person: "First, click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | * {{Fc|green|Third person: "First, click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | ||
*: NOTE: This is redundant and overly wordy. Please be succinct and avoid adding the obvious {{Fc|green|Third person: "First,}} {{Fc|red|users should}} {{Fc|green|click on the 'edit' button ..."}} | |||
