Vital articles is a list of subjects for which Wikipedia should have corresponding high-quality articles. It serves as a centralized watchlist to track the status of Wikipedia's most essential articles. This is one of eleven Level 4 sub-lists of ten thousand articles and is currently under construction.
Articles are labelled as:
- Featured articles
- Former featured articles
- A-class articles
- Good articles
- Delisted good articles
- B-class articles

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.
This list is tailored to the English-language Wikipedia. There is also a list of ten thousand articles considered vital to Wikipedias of all languages.
