Wikipedia:List article
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A list article is an article that lays out in table format a list of links to article entries with a common theme, often with other information. The category feature on Wikipedia automatically creates lists but does not include information other than links to the article.
List articles are a useful way to organize information, especially as Wikipedia becomes ever larger and more complex. It is also a useful way to quickly compare and contrast differences and similarities among the different entries.
List articles are not new to encyclopedias. Many contain list articles such as a list of presidents, prime ministers or other heads of state in chronological order for different countries.
