There are a growing number of Wikipedia projects, some very large, and others quite moribund. I propose that we invigorate them, and ensure that they each contain a minimum of information that will be of use to users. This way, people will be encouraged to see use these projects and help in their growth.
There are a growing number of Wikipedia projects, some very active and others quite stagnant. This list is intended as a guideline for those projects so that they will contain a minimum amount of basic, useful information. This way, people will be encouraged to use these projects and help in their growth. The articles should contain at least basic information on the topics they describe, thus providing a starting point for growth besides being a useful reference for the readers. This list provides links to corresponding [[Wikidata]] objects, containing links to articles in various Wikipedias which can be used as a translatable resource.
{{PagePile|id=53917 |revision=25997693 |date=2024-1-14}}


This list is limited to 1000 articles, but a much larger list is available at [[List of articles every Wikipedia should have/Expanded]].
I therefore suggest that we make a list of 1,000 basic articles that we should try to ensure appear on every existing Wikipedia.


{{Top1000 recent changes}}
These articles should be very basic, and incorporate the most essential information. In some cases, it will be only a table, while in other cases, it will be a stub. This will, however, provide some impetus for the smaller projects to grow.

== How to use this list ==
===Some important politicians of today===


There are several different ways to use this list. The first is to translate it into the language of your Wikipedia and see whether you have articles on all of these topics. The topics here are linked to corresponding items in the Wikidata project. If your Wikipedia is missing an article, or if you are starting out with a new language, you may want to translate these basic articles from a different language that you are familiar with (for example, English). Language links to Wikipedias in which the topic is covered are provided at the bottom of each Wikidata item page.
#George W. Bush
#Gerhard Schröder
#Jacques Chirac
#Silvio Berlusconi
#Kofi Annan
#Nelson Mandela


In addition to simply listing the articles, this project hopes to eventually create easily translatable versions of these articles, possibly containing core information at [[simple:Wikipedia:List of articles all languages should have]].
==Countries:==


This list is also used to obtain the [[List of Wikipedias by sample of articles]]. Articles which are absent from one wikipedia are shown in [[List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Absent Articles]].
* France
* Germany
* UK
* Russia
* United States
* Iraq
* Israel
* Iran
* India
* Japan
* People's Republic of China
* Republic of China (at Taiwan)
* Ireland
* Brazil
* South Africa
* Peru
* Canada
* North Korea
* Republic of Korea
* Kenya
* Nigeria
* Mexico


It's possible to list the top 1000 most translated (linked) pages in some languages, at [[toollabs:wikidata-terminator|Wikidata Terminator]]; or even compare any two wikis, with [[toollabs:not-in-the-other-language/|Not in the other language]].
==Geography==
At least three sentences on each of the continents
# Africa
# Asia
# Australia
# Europe
# North America
# South America


Since this list is full, it is important that you '''discuss any changes''' (adds or deletes) on the [[Talk:List of articles every Wikipedia should have|discussion for this list]] first. If you add an entry at this point, it will be necessary to justify deleting something else.
==History==
At least five sentences on:
# French Revolution
# World War I
# World War II
# Russian Revolution
# Roman Empire
# Discovery of the Americas
# Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation
# Industrial Revolution
# Crusades
# The Great Schism
# Classical Greece
# Ancient Egypt


Six versions from the history of this page can be found at [[List of articles every Wikipedia should have/Version 1.0|Version 1.0]] (14 August 2006), [[/Version 1.1|Version 1.1]] (15 November 2008), [[/Version 1.2|Version 1.2]] (3 February 2010), [[/Version 1.3|Version 1.3]] (24 June 2012), [[/Version 1.4|Version 1.4]] (1 June 2014), and [[/Version 1.5|Version 1.5]] (6 February 2022).
==International==
#United Nations
#Nobel Prize
#Arab League
#NATO
#European Union


Top-priority entries, which are considered especially necessary for any Wikipedia to have, '''are marked in bold'''. Like the list itself, these selections should not be viewed as dictating how important certain topics are, but only as a utility for smaller Wikipedias to start from.

There are a growing number of Wikipedia projects, some very active and others quite stagnant. This list is intended as a guideline for those projects so that they will contain a minimum amount of basic, useful information. This way, people will be encouraged to use these projects and help in their growth. The articles should contain at least basic information on the topics they describe, thus providing a starting point for growth besides being a useful reference for the readers. This list provides links to corresponding Wikidata objects, containing links to articles in various Wikipedias which can be used as a translatable resource.

This list is limited to 1000 articles, but a much larger list is available at List of articles every Wikipedia should have/Expanded.

How to use this list[edit]

There are several different ways to use this list. The first is to translate it into the language of your Wikipedia and see whether you have articles on all of these topics. The topics here are linked to corresponding items in the Wikidata project. If your Wikipedia is missing an article, or if you are starting out with a new language, you may want to translate these basic articles from a different language that you are familiar with (for example, English). Language links to Wikipedias in which the topic is covered are provided at the bottom of each Wikidata item page.

In addition to simply listing the articles, this project hopes to eventually create easily translatable versions of these articles, possibly containing core information at simple:Wikipedia:List of articles all languages should have.

This list is also used to obtain the List of Wikipedias by sample of articles. Articles which are absent from one wikipedia are shown in List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Absent Articles.

It's possible to list the top 1000 most translated (linked) pages in some languages, at Wikidata Terminator; or even compare any two wikis, with Not in the other language.

Since this list is full, it is important that you discuss any changes (adds or deletes) on the discussion for this list first. If you add an entry at this point, it will be necessary to justify deleting something else.

Six versions from the history of this page can be found at Version 1.0 (14 August 2006), Version 1.1 (15 November 2008), Version 1.2 (3 February 2010), Version 1.3 (24 June 2012), Version 1.4 (1 June 2014), and Version 1.5 (6 February 2022).

Top-priority entries, which are considered especially necessary for any Wikipedia to have, are marked in bold. Like the list itself, these selections should not be viewed as dictating how important certain topics are, but only as a utility for smaller Wikipedias to start from.
