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 should contain. This page should include the same articles as meta:List of articles every Wikipedia should have/Version 1.3.
Some of the articles are in bold. That means that it is very important that they be written.
For a very long list of basic articles (10,000), see: Vital articles - expanded.
