Help:Cleanup
That means that this article contains information intended to advise or aid on the functions of the wiki, on how to use the wiki, or on general recommendations for users of the wiki.
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. If you run across such issues, please do the best you can to fix them yourself! If you can't fix an issue yourself and want to mark it for others, there are templates provided below.

It's a lot easier to link the words brush entity!

In tutorials and other material related to development, the word "you" can be acceptable, or it may be possible to remove it, 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...".
