 *To preserve clarity and quality of content, no language other than English is to be used at Zelda Wiki.org.
 *Zelda Wiki.org has an [[Zelda_Wiki.org:About#Other_Partnerships|interwiki agreement]] with the German-language wiki [[Zeldapendium]], therefore any appropriate pages should link to Zeldapendium using the [[Template:de|<nowiki>{{de}}</nowiki>]] template.
-*Zelda Wiki.org strives to maintain an in-universe speaking style to articles. The most common issue is usage of "You" and "the player" when referring to a controllable character such as Link or someone/thing he controls in-game. These should always be replaced with the correct narrative. (Clearly articles pertaining to Hacks, Glitches, Console systems, and other such removals from immersion this would not be necessary.)
+*Articles should be written in an in-universe speaking style. This means that when referring to playable characters, such as "''Link''", articles must state the name of the character or use an appropriate alternative for the sentence, such as "''he''". It is not tolerable to refer to playable characters as "''the player''" or "''you''", and if these are in articles they should be changed to the correct narrative. There are exceptions to this; namely for [[glitches]] and [[hacks]].
