Redirected from The most basic encyclopedia article topics
Let's consult complete list of encyclopedia topics and pull from it the topics that are the most important, whether we've covered them or not. Here's how I (LMS) propose that we do this. (1) Identify a broad area about which you know a lot. (2) Review complete list of encyclopedia topics (which Magnus Manske has magnanimously contributed) and pick out topics in that are, in your opinion, among the most important, say, one-tenth of topics, and add them to the appropriate "basic topics" page. ("One-tenth" is just a rough estimate. The point is that we should be pretty selective, because we want to know what the most basic articles in a field are.)
So, why do this? To get a good idea of what blanks we need to fill in--hopefully, this will focus a good number of people on the task of writing about those topics. We'll discover a lot of exciting topics that no one has touched yet, and get to work on them. This will increase traffic to the website and make it a lot more useful.
