This is a currently incomplete list of ten thousand subjects for which Wikipedia should ultimately have high-quality articles. It expands on Wikipedia:Vital articles, which lists one thousand articles. This list is in the process of being refined and prioritized on the basis of topic-by-topic discussion and voting. Changes can be proposed on the talk page. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Because of its size, Vital Articles/Expanded has been split into eleven sublists. If you spot a duplicate listing, please remove one of them; if you aren't sure in which section a topic belongs, please initiate a discussion on the talk page.

As of June 25, 2016, this list includes 9,856 individual articles, based on the manually entered totals for each of the sublists:
