Welcome to the WikiProject Lists, an effort to collaboratively develop Wikipedia's list articles and embedded lists.
- Goals
- Make all lists conform to the standards of Featured list criteria
- Check through Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lists
- Clean out Category:Lists that should be categories
- Disperse Category:Lists into their proper subcategories
- Create Wikipedia:Most wanted articles#Lists
- Reduce the number of inappropriate laundry lists
- Maintain Wikipedia:Contents and its subpages
- Make more lists to better organize Wikipedia articles
- Maintain and develop the list guidelines and help pages.
- Scope
- The project covers all articles that are (and contain) lists. That includes those that are intended to aid in navigation through Wikipedia, and all articles whose intent is to gather disparate articles and info into useful groups.

Incomplete lists
- See also: Category:Incomplete lists.
Because of Wikipedia's role as an almanac as well as an encyclopedia, it contains a large number of lists. Some lists, such as the primary pigment colors or the states of the United States of America, are typically complete and unlikely to change for a long time.
Some lists, however, are either not yet fully filled out or are difficult to keep current because the list is constantly changing. These are both referred to as incomplete lists. It's important that our readers understand that these lists should not be considered complete, or even representative of the class of items being listed. As such, we recommend inserting the {{Expand list}} tag either before or after any incomplete list.
It is our hope that other Wikipedians will pick up where we leave off, and add more items to the list, bringing it closer, if not to completion, then at least to a mature state in which only minor updates are required as times change. Of course, it's not clear for all lists what should or shouldn't be on it, and so completion may never be clear for these lists, but there should at least come a point where most representative and widely agreed upon entries are present...
