This is a list of basic subjects for which Wikipedia should have a corresponding high-quality article, and ideally a featured article. It also serves as a centralized watchlist and tracks the status of some of Wikipedia's most essential articles. Featured articles are marked (Featured article), A-class articles with (A-class article), Good articles with (Good article) and B-class articles with (B-class article). Articles that have cleanup tags on them or are start class or lower need to be improved as soon as possible and are marked in bold.
