Wikipedia:WikiProject Apps



Welcome to WikiProject Apps. Several Wikipedians have formed this group to improve and organize the coverage of mobile apps on Wikipedia. This page and its subpages contain suggestions and various resources. If you would like to help, please join the project, leave a comment on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Scope

 * Articles about operating systems supporting mobile apps (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows 10)
 * Articles about and related to mobile apps (e.g. Angry Birds, Instagram, 1Password)
 * Articles about mobile app developers (e.g. Loren Brichter, ZeptoLab, Simogo)
 * Types of apps (e.g. Fitness app, car app, dating app)
 * Development, software, and technology behind mobile apps (e.g. Mobile app development, Unity (game engine))

NOTE: If you are writing about your own app or your company's app, you have a conflict of interest, which must be disclosed. Additionally, be sure to check that your article meets the notability guidelines.

Apps
The following suggested structure serves only as a guideline. Please adapt it according to the particular necessities of your article. It is always a good idea to study related/similar articles with a good rate classification.

Suggested structure:
 * General description focusing on the highlights of the app.
 * Infobox (consider using either Template:Infobox software or Template:Infobox video game)
 * Gameplay (app game) or Features (productivity app, educational app,...)
 * Development
 * Release
 * Reception
 * Awards
 * See also
 * References
 * External links (usually contains a link to the official website)
 * Categories

If you are writing about a mobile game, please consider looking at the specific guidelines for video game-related articles and WikiProject Video games.

App developers
Typically, these articles refer to either a company (e.g. King (company), Duolingo) or a person (e.g. Alexey Pajitnov, Andreas Illiger). You must be sure that the developer meets the Notability criteria. As a general rule, developers are only notable if their products are also notable.

The following suggested structure serves only as a guideline. It is always a good idea to study related or similarly structured articles with a high-class rating.

Suggested structure:
 * General description focusing on the highlights or achievements of the company.
 * Infobox (consider using Template:Infobox company)
 * History (in the context of WikiProject Apps, please refer to the launch date of key products)
 * List of apps (name, release date, platforms)
 * References
 * External links (usually contains a link to the official website)

Also note: If the developer is a living person, please refer to the biographies of living persons and notability for people policies. If the developer is a company, please refer to the guidelines suggested by WikiProject Companies and ensure that the article meets the notability criteria for organizations and companies.
