Clarification would be helpful -- I'm not a technical writer, but I had to learn some of the basics in school. From what I understood there, using second person is considered 'unprofessional' in items such as instructions and documentation (i.e., we'd get marks off for using second person on assignments where we had to write a series of instructions).

On the other hand, as to my own understanding, the Wiki is meant to be as an 'instrutional manual' to Habitica, but not as strict a manual as the documents coming with an appliance or parts. I also agree that second person is much easier to read, and wording around it can be tricky just for the sake of eliminating it while simultaneously making text flow naturally.

In my opinion, having a 'rule' or strong clarification would be useful (such as, "when editing a user's profile, second person is okay.  When talking about aspects of the website, do not use second person") regardless of whether 'you' in general becomes accepted by other members of the guild.
