Lists
More topic lists. Some are lists of lists.
Two of the broadest list collections are:
Alphabetical indexes
- Indexes — subject indexes, sorted alphabetically.
- Complete alphabetical index — pages sorted by the first two letters of the title, e.g., "Aa Ab Ac Ad..."
- Special:Categories — every category listed alphabetically
Outlines
- Subject outlines — structured lists that show how topics are related to each other.
- Timelines — list articles chronologically.
Featured content
Featured content is the best Wikipedia has to offer, via vigorous peer review. Presented by type:
Spoken articles
Growing collections of Wikipedia articles are available as spoken word recordings.
Wikipedia books
Wikipedia books are collections of Wikipedia articles that can be viewed, downloaded, or printed into a book. They provide a roadmap for a course of study in a particular subject.
Portals
A portal introduces the reader to a subject by presenting images, categories and excerpts of key articles. Portals also guide editing by providing to-do lists.
Categorical indexes
Wikipedia's category system is generated from category tags at the bottom of articles and other pages. The top-level pages are:
- Categories — an index of major categories, arranged by subject (because this page is crafted by hand, it is an exception to the category autogeneration rule)
- Category:Articles — the category in which all article category systems are located
- Category:Wikipedia categories — pages and categories which themselves specifically relate to categories
- Category:Contents — the highest level or "root" category in Wikipedia — its subcategories contain various types of encyclopedic content, content that assists with the navigation of the encyclopedia, as well as pages related to the maintenance of the encyclopedia — its autogenerated entries are listed at the bottom of the page
- Category:Fundamental categories — the category containing the most fundamental ontological categories, such that every article category system can reasonably be expected to be within it
Wikipedia's other broad categorical indexes are:
Glossaries
Glossaries are lists of terms with definitions.
