Outside of [[Pikipedia:Guides|guides]], never refer to the reader as | Outside of [[Pikipedia:Guides|guides]], never refer to the reader as second person pronouns (you/your). Instead, use nouns or third-person pronouns like "the player" or something else instead. This is because the wiki is an encyclopedia, where the narrator should be invisible to the reader. | ||
Note that if you must refer to the reader, use the gender neutral pronoun ([[wikipedia:singular they|they]]), not "he or she", "he/she", or "s/he". Only using one gender (he or she) should also be avoided. | |||
