From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The purpose of this page is to provide a hierarchy of article topics which can be used both by Wikipedia release versions (such as Version 0.5 ) and the good article project . The two projects are broadly in agreement on the 10 topic top-level Wikipedia 1.0 list, but have diverged on the subtopic-level. The main task, therefore, is to harmonize the subtopics between the two projects. It would also be helpful if this hierarchy were broadly compatible with the categories used on the featured article page : those categories are also listed here under the 10 topics (some FA categories fall under more than one of the 10 topics: this is indicated by an asterisk).
