Revision as of 09:15, 22 June 2020 by Wikipedia>Jonesey95 (Add copy edit category, per linked talk page discussion)
 | This article uses first-person ("I"; "we") or second-person ("you") inappropriately. (October 2024) |
Template documentation | This template should not be substituted. |
Usage
This template has three optional fields:
- article or section,
- i, we, first-person (for both we and I), you, or second-person (same as "you"), and
- an adverb (like inappropriately or excessively).
For instance, {{inappropriate person|section|i|excessively}} results in:
| This section uses first-person ("I") excessively. (October 2024) |
Leaving the arguments undefined is acceptable; the template will show the default text listed on this page.
Alternative
If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being bold and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this tag and leaving it for someone else to clean up.
Notes
This template will add tagged articles to dated subcategories of Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month, Category:All articles with style issues, and Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit.
This template is a self-reference.
Shortcuts
{{you|article}}for{{inappropriate person|article|second-person|inappropriately}}; or simply{{you}}for the default.
