If a subject is notable for reasons unrelated to APL, in addition to being [[APL Wiki:Content guidelines#Notability|APL notable]], then you can indicate this fact using the [[Template:Also on Wikipedia|Also on Wikipedia]] template. By default, both the text and the Wikipedia link target are taken from the page's title. The optional first argument changes the name used in the text (for example, to use only a person's last name) and the second gives the Wikipedia article to link to.

As the template suggests, only APL-related topics, and important background information, should be covered on the APL Wiki if there is also a substantial Wikipedia article. In contrast, topics which are on Wikipedia only because of APL should eventually have APL Wiki articles with at least as much information as Wikipedia, and should not use the Also on Wikipedia template—instead, these articles should include a link to the Wikipedia article in an "External links" section.

However, content should not be copied directly from Wikipedia. Rewrite it from an APL perspective instead.
