"# Formatting\n\n*For the writing standards, see: [Article style criteria/Writing](../Writing)*\n\n*Notice: This article uses [RFC 2119](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119 \"IETF Tools\") to describe requirement levels.*\n\n## Locales\n\nListed below are the properly-supported locales for the wiki:\n\n| File Name | Locale Name | Native Script |\n| :-- | :-- | :-- |\n| `en.md` | English | English |\n| `ar.md` | Arabic | اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ |\n| `be.md` | Belarusian | Беларуская мова |\n| `bg.md` | Bulgarian | Български |\n| `cs.md` | Czech | Česky |\n| `da.md` | Danish | Dansk |\n| `de.md` | German | Deutsch |\n| `gr.md` | Greek | Ελληνικά |\n| `es.md` | Spanish | Español |\n| `fi.md` | Finnish | Suomi |\n| `fr.md` | French | Français |\n| `hu.md` | Hungarian | Magyar |\n| `id.md` | Indonesian | Bahasa Indonesia |\n| `it.md` | Italian | Italiano |\n| `ja.md` | Japanese | 日本語 |\n| `ko.md` | Korean | 한국어 |\n| `nl.md` | Dutch | Nederlands |\n| `no.md` | Norwegian | Norsk |\n| `pl.md` | Polish | Polski |\n| `pt.md` | Portuguese | Português |\n| `pt-br.md` | Brazilian Portuguese | Português (Brasil) |\n| `ro.md` | Romanian | Română |\n| `ru.md` | Russian | Русский |\n| `sk.md` | Slovak | Slovenčina |\n| `sv.md` | Swedish | Svenska |\n| `th.md` | Thai | ไทย |\n| `tr.md` | Turkish | Türkçe |\n| `uk.md` | Ukrainian | Українська мова |\n| `vi.md` | Vietnamese | Tiếng Việt |\n| `zh.md` | Chinese (Simplified) | 简体中文 |\n| `zh-tw.md` | Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) | 繁體中文（台灣） |\n\n*Note: The website will give readers their selected language's version of an article. If it is not available, the English version will be given.*\n\n### Content parity\n\nTranslations are subject to strict content parity with their English article, in the sense that they must have the same message, regardless of grammar and syntax. Any changes to the translations' meanings must be accompanied by equivalent changes to the English article.\n\nThere are some cases where the content is allowed to differ:\n\n- Articles originally written in a language other than English (in this case, English should act as the translation)\n- Explanations of English words that are common terms in the osu! community\n- External links\n- Tags\n- Subcommunity-specific explanations\n\n## Front matter\n\nFront matter must be placed at the very top of the file. It is written in [YAML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Example \"YAML Wikipedia article\") and describes additional information about the article. This must be surrounded by three hyphens (`---`) on the lines above and below it, and an empty line must follow it before the title heading.\n\n### Articles that need help\n\n*Note: Avoid translating English articles with this tag. In addition to this, this tag should be added when the translation needs its own clean up.*\n\nThe `needs_cleanup` tag may be added to articles that need rewriting or formatting help. It is also acceptable to open an issue on GitHub for this purpose. This tag must be written as shown below:\n\n```yaml\nneeds_cleanup: true\n```\n\nWhen adding this tag to an article, [comments](#comments) should also be added to explain what needs to be done to remove the tag.\n\n### Outdated articles\n\n*Note: Avoid translating English articles with this tag. If the English article has this tag, the translation must also have this tag.*\n\nTranslated articles that are outdated must use the `outdated` tag when the English variant is updated. English articles may also become outdated when the content they contain is misleading or no longer relevant. This tag must be written as shown below:\n\n```yaml\noutdated: true\n```\n\nWhen adding this tag to an article, [comments](#comments) should also be added to explain what needs to be updated to remove the tag.\n\n### Tagging articles\n\nTags help the website's search engine query articles better. Tags should be written in the same language as the article and include the original list of tags. T
