These symbols and article counts are updated daily by User:cewbot.
- The bot only updates counter with the pattern "(000 articles)" in section title.
- All attributes of articles are fetched from corresponding categories.
- The bot will automatically update the summary table if there are summary table marks. Please refer to Wikipedia:Vital articles for an example of a summary table.
- Every time you modify main sections, please adjust User:Cewbot/log/20200122/configuration#Topics as well! This will avoid articles being listed in Category:All Wikipedia vital articles in an unknown topic.
