Purpose

Maintenance template used to mark pages or sections that are written like a strategy guide or walkthrough. This adds the page to Category:Pages with an improper style or tone.

As per the writing style guidelines, pages need to be written in a formal, encyclopedic style and must not cover game tips or strategies. Information detailing gameplay elements, such as enemies, items, dungeons, equipment, etc, must be written in a straightforward manner and cover only essential information. Relatedly, the use of "you" and "the player" must also be avoided.
