| ''List articles'' are encyclopedia pages consisting of a lead section followed by a list (which may or may not be divided by headings). The items on these lists include links to articles in a particular subject area and may include additional information about the listed items. The titles of stand-alone lists typically begin with the type of list it is (''List of'', ''Index of'', etc.), followed by the article's subject; like: ''[[List of vegetable oils]]''. They can be organised alphabetically, by subject classification or by topics in a flat or hierarchical structure. | | ''List articles'' are encyclopedia pages consisting of a lead section followed by a list (which may or may not be divided by headings).

| Most lists on Wikipedia are item lists, but not all. Specialized types of stand-alone lists include:
| |
| * '''[[Portal:Contents/Outlines|Outlines]]''' – a Wikipedia [[outline (list)|outline]] is a hierarchically arranged list of topics belonging to a given subject. Outlines are one of the two types of general topics list on Wikipedia, the other being indices. ''See [[Wikipedia:Outlines]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines]].''
| |
| * '''[[Portal:Contents/Indices|Indices]]''' – an [[Index (publishing)|index]] on Wikipedia is an alphabetical list of articles on a given subject. ''See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Indexes]].''
| |
| * '''[[:Category:Wikipedia timelines|Timelines]]''' – a [[timeline]] is a graphical representation of a chronological sequence of events. ''See [[Wikipedia:Timeline]].''
| |
| * '''[[:Category:Wikipedia bibliographies|Bibliographies]]''' – a [[bibliography]] is a list of relevant references for a subject area, and lists as books, journal articles, web articles, etc. Bibliographies are useful for expanding ''Further Reading'' topics for [[Wikipedia:Summary style|Summary style]] articles.
| |
| * '''[[:Category:Discographies|Discographies]]''' – a [[discography]] presents a listing of all recordings which a musician or singer features. Discographies may also be compiled based on a particular musical genre or record label, etc.
| |
| * '''[[Portal:Contents/Glossaries|Glossaries]]''' – a [[glossary]] is a list of terms in a specific subject area, with definitions included. ''See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Glossaries]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Glossaries]]''.
| |
| *'''[[Wikipedia:Set index articles|Set index articles]]''' – document a set of items that share the same (or a similar) name. They are different from [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation]] pages in that they are full-fledged articles meant to document multiple subjects, while disambiguation pages are for navigation purposes only. Not all set index articles are lists.
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Dynamic lists|Dynamic lists]]''' – a dynamic list is any list that changes as the subject it covers changes. Therefore, it may never be completed. A list of any type may be dynamic.
