Adjust second person pronoun to third person
I would have just fixed this myself, but new account. On this page there's a blurb tat we could adjust to be more gender neutral.

" A Portage introduction   This chapter explains the "simple" steps a user definitely needs to know to maintain the software on his system. "

I think we should go ahead and change "his" to "their",or some similar phrasing. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Steakwipe (talk • contribs) 26 January 2017‎

Use of article description
I'm currently not approving changes for translations when these contain the  parameter. We had a small talk about it on IRC, but I still don't see why we need, next to the  information, an article description. It was mentioned that the abstract can be larger than the description, but that doesn't mean the abstract one can be reduced in length.

Also, the abstract isn't being displayed that much anymore (it was for a documentation overview), yet is still present in many articles. I really want to keep the number of parameters and metadata limited for articles.
