Vital articles are lists of subjects for which the English Wikipedia should have corresponding featured-class articles. They serve as centralized watchlists to track the quality status of Wikipedia's most important articles and to give editors guidance on which articles to prioritize for improvement. The very most important articles are in Level 1.

This page lists 100 subjects on which Wikipedia should have corresponding featured-class articles. They form Level 2 of the vital articles list, and include all ten subjects on the Level 1 list, which are displayed on this page in bold.

Articles in the Vital list have their assessments labelled as:

Featured articles
Former featured articles
A-class articles
Good articles
Delisted good articles
Failed good article nominees
B-class articles
C-class articles
Start-class articles
Stub-class articles
List-class articles
Unassessed articles

The progress bar is auto-updated via category count, and the symbols and article counts are updated daily by User:cewbot. Please read the FAQ before modifying the article list.
