The APL Wiki takes no position on what can be called "APL", and this question is not important to its content (when in doubt, a controversial APL such as [[J]] may be called a "language" rather than an "APL" or "dialect"). Instead, an editor should consider the task of balancing how central a concept is to APL against its prominence and placement in the APL Wiki. See [[#Due weight]] below. | The APL Wiki takes no position on what can be called "APL", and this question is not important to its content (when in doubt, a controversial APL such as [[J]] may be called a "language" rather than an "APL" or "dialect").
