APL Wiki:Wikipedia

This list is to keep track of Wikipedia articles where APL could be mentioned. E.g. there are several entries on programming language concepts where APL is a prime example of that feature, but isn't mentioned, or does not have a code example.

Feel free to add to this list.

If you fix anything, mark it as done.
