If you're feeling more ambitious, feel free to check out the project's list of Vital articles. Currently, 64 Apple-related articles are considered vital encyclopedic content. Please help us improve those articles! You're also welcome to help bring any article to Good article status!

Tag articles by adding ((WikiProject Apple Inc.)) to its talk page, inside ((WikiProject banner shell)) 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).
