Requested articles provides sub-pages of lists of articles that people want Wikipedians to create.

Requesting an article

If you have an article request you should add it to the list under the appropriate request category. If you want to request a summary of certain high quality online information you should ask at requests for summaries. If you're not sure what an article should be named, just enter a very brief description. For more specific information on how to name the article look at the naming conventions. To be informed of when the requested article is written, you can go into its future page and just add it to your watchlist.

Creating a requested article

To find an article that you want to create, look under an appropriate request category.

Policy

The policy of this page is to remove articles as they are written. You can tell that an article is written (or at least started) because the link will be live (stubs count).

The request categories

The requests are on subpages which are categorized into the four broad subjects: mathematical and natural sciences, applied arts and sciences, social sciences and philosophy, and culture and fine arts. If you can't find what you are looking for try the other categorization schemes (by alphabetical order). Click on the big heading to go to the requested articles in that category, click the smaller topics to go to created articles about them.

Other places to find articles that could be created

  • What Google Likes provides a list of the top searches by google. These should usually be included in Wikipedia.
  • List of encyclopedia topics a list of articles in other reference sources Wikipedia is lacking
  • Current events displays newsworthy topics—even brief entries for those are very helpful. They have the advantage of already having a reference webpage, and would have been verified in most cases by the news media.
  • Wikipedia:Most wanted articles provides a list of the most-linked-to but nonexistent articles on Wikipedia. Creating these is always useful.
