'''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. | '''APL Wiki''' was launched at the end of 2006 as a MoinMoin wiki.

Keep these rules in mind: | Keep these rules 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 like [[J]] and [[K]], as they could likely have entire wikis in their own rights. | |||
* Except when about a specific 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. | |||
* Make sure your changes are accurate. If you think something needs explaining but you're not 100% sure what the explanation should be, mention it on the page's Discussion tab. | * Make sure your changes are accurate.

* Avoid "thread mode", where you simply add your thoughts to a page without taking the trouble to make the page a unified whole. Thread mode is OK in Forums but not in documentation. | * Avoid "thread mode", where you simply add your thoughts to a page without taking the trouble to make the page a unified whole.
