The Style Guide (https://github.com/cockroachdb/docs/wiki/Style-Guide) talks about imperative mood being the preferred one. However, to those not steeped in grammatical technicalities (such as yours truly!), the Wikipedia link isn't a great help. It doesn't provide a friendly, gradually-building-up tutorial on what mood is and what imperative mood is, and so on; moreover, it's a generic article on imperative mood and covers languages other than English too, resulting in more effort and confusion for the learner.

My proposal: change the link to something more helpful/beginner-friendly. It can even be a set of links to explain different shades of the idea.

If you agree, I'd also request that this be assigned to me, as I'm desperately looking for docs to contribute to! 😄
