'''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 [[User:RichPark|Richard Park]], but is not directly affiliated with any particular individuals, companies, or organisations. Migration of content from the [https://old.aplwiki.com/ old APL Wiki] is ongoing. | |||

Some advice to keep in mind: | |||
* This wiki is for general information about the APL programming language. Pages about other programming languages should be from the perspective of APL, even if they are array-oriented, as they merit their own wikis, which e.g. [[J]] has. | |||
* | * Remember that APL has many dialects, even if you use one. It's fine to write an [[:Category:Essays|essay]] about how to do something in a particular dialect, but encyclopedic articles should strive to be dialect neutral. Apply the principle of [[APL Wiki:Content guidelines#Due weight|due weight]] when deciding whether to mention a particular dialect, and [[APL Wiki:Formatting#Tagging dialects|tag]] code examples that don't work in all dialects. | ||
* Avoid "thread mode", where you simply add your thoughts to a page without taking the trouble to make the page a unified whole. | * If you don't know how to write something or think information on a page could be wrong or misleading, mention it on the page's Discussion tab. | ||
* Avoid "thread mode", where you simply add your thoughts to a page without taking the trouble to make the page a unified whole. Of course, this doesn't apply to Discussion and user pages. | |||
In the discussion tab, your voice is just one of many and you are free to express yourself as you wish. | In the discussion tab, your voice is just one of many and you are free to express yourself as you wish, but please be nice. | ||
