Scope
Tag articles by adding to its talk page, inside  if present. Articles should be tagged if they contain significant Apple-related content we should maintain, or if such material needs to be added.


 * All articles related to Apple products, software, and services
 * All articles related to Apple Inc., including Apple executives and employees
 * All articles related to companies that are significant to Apple history. This includes:
 * Companies that made Apple-exclusive software/hardware, like The Omni Group, Panic Inc., and Ambrosia Software
 * Companies that had notable ties to Apple like Adobe Inc., Akamai Technologies, and Microsoft.
 * For third-party apps (not games) for the Mac, iOS, or other Apple platforms:
 * Apps that are, or were, exclusive to Apple platforms, like OmniFocus, BBEdit, and Carbon Copy Cloner, are in scope.
 * Non-exclusive apps that are significant to Mac history, like CodeWarrior, are also in scope.
 * Not in scope: cross-platform apps that lack direct relevance to Apple history. If there's no Apple-related information we can add to an article, tagging us is pointless.
 * No video games! Tag those with WP:WikiProject Video games instead.
 * Only exception: games and consoles made or published by Apple, like Apple Pippin and Vortex (iPod game).
