Help:Cleanup
Articles may develop a variety of problems which require cleanup in order to get the article to a higher level of quality. Problems can include typographical errors and poor grammar and spelling, poor wording, articles written in the first person, and other problems.
Point of View
Articles should be writen in the third person, avoiding the usage of "I" (first person) and "you" (second person) whenever possible. If referring to gameplay, use "the player" rather than "you" ("The player can stand on the button to open the door".) In tutorials and other material related to development, the word "you" can usually be dropped altogether, for example changing "Next, you tie the brush to..." to "Next, tie the brush to...". In tutorials, phrasing such as "I prefer to use the..." can be changed to "A good choice is the...".
Cleanup templates
These templates may be inserted into an article to mark various issues with the article and list it as an article needing cleanup. Most of these templates will add the article to Category:Cleanup. Each template tag added to the article should be given its own line, except superscript templates which are used inline at the end of word or sentence.
It is optional whether to capitalize the first letter of the template tag.
Header templates
These templates are placed at the very top of the article to mark that the problem is a general problem with the article.

{{pov}}- Used to mark articles which use first-person or second-person speech.
{{wip}}- Use this to tell other editors you are currently editing the article.
{{DISPLAYTITLE|title}}- Not really a template. Used to fix the title of articles misnamed by MediaWiki, and to give translated articles localised names.
