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.

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Apps}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

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 Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games.

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 Wikipedia: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.

For general information on what constitutes reliable Wikipedia sources, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Besides conventional press sources, there are several reliable publications focused on app-related news, reviews, and guides that can be used:

Some of these sources publish sponsored articles for product or software reviews. These are usually identified and, though a paid review does not necessarily imply a good review, sponsored content is generally not acceptable as a source.

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Apps: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2024-04-19 Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Good article nominations : Improve Application software, Facebook and Instagram to good article status Stubs : Category:Mobile game stubs, Category:Stub-Class apps articles
