Keep these rules in mind:
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.
