'''APL Wiki''' was launched at the end of 2006 as a MoinMoin wiki. It was created and maintained by Kai Jäger of [https://aplteam.com/ APL Team Ltd], and [[APL Wiki logo|its logo]] derives from that of APL Team. In 2019, APL Wiki was reborn as a MediaWiki site, this time with content more in the style of Wikipedia. It is now maintained by Richard Park, but is not directly affiliated with any particular individuals, companies, or organisations. Migration of content from the old APL Wiki is ongoing.

This wiki is a central repository and general information wiki for the APL programming language. There may be pages regarding other languages in the array-oriented and APL family (such as [[J]] and [[K]]), but these pages should be from the perspective of APL (as they could likely have entire wikis in their own rights). The same applies for specific APL dialects; other than on the page for an individual dialect, articles should strive to be dialect neutral, although examples that only work in one or a few dialects are perfectly acceptable. Do not try to document a dialect; that'd require a separate wiki, which e.g. [[NARS2000]] has.
