Vital articles
Vital articles is a list of basic subjects for which Wikipedia should have a corresponding high-quality article, and ideally a featured article.

Featured articles are marked with ( (Featured article nominees with )), A-class articles with (), Good articles with ( (Good article nominees with )), B-class articles with (), C-class articles with (), Start-class articles with (), and Stub-class articles with (). These symbols are updated manually and may be out of date; you are encouraged to fix any errors you discover.
