Ah yes, that's the first point in the Quick Tips section in Guidance for Scribes: "Use third person (e.g. the player, they) in the opening of an article. You can use second person in later paragraphs or sentences"

To be honest, I don't know why we say to use third person in the opening; my personal preference would be second person throughout because I think it's nicer to read, but I've always assumed there was a good reason for that guideline. :) It might be part of a writing style guide from elsewhere that was adapted for use on the wiki.

As for when it's appropriate to change the style of existing text, I'd say change if you're already editing the text to make some other changes but don't worry too much about editing solely to go from second to third person or vice versa.
