Wikipedia requires APA style for its citations.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Wikipedia requires APA style for its citations?

Unclear. One dataset indicates English Wikipedia citations are entered as Citation Style 1 templates rather than APA, and a Wikipedia article describes APA as a separate publication manual; neither directly states Wikipedia's citation policy, so the evidence only partially bears against the claim.
