Vital articles is a list of subjects for which Wikipedia should have corresponding high-quality articles. It serves as a centralized watchlist to track the status of Wikipedia's most essential articles. This is one of eleven Level 4 sub-lists of ten thousand articles and is currently under construction.

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.

This list is tailored to the English-language Wikipedia. There is also a list of ten thousand articles considered vital to Wikipedias of all languages.
