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 the sub-lists of the fifty thousand article Vital articles/Level 5 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.
