Illogicopedia:Vital
- This page is a list of vital wiki topics. For a list of less conventional desired topics, see Illogicopedia:Articles for Creation
There are a lot of Wikipedias. Some of them are very big, and some are very small. They all need certain basic articles. They can even just be stubs. This is a list of 1,000 basic articles every Wikipedia needs. This page should include the same article as Wikipedia:m:List of articles all languages should have. When change is needed, please change at Meta first. This page currently marked as Version 1.0 which refers to the revision done on August 14th, 2006 at 21:36. |
You heard the overly serious ones; if they're good enough topics for Wikipedia, they are good enough topics for us. Or something like that. Write about these essential stuffings, and make "it" make "sense". If you feel like it, that is.
