WikiProject Lists of basic topics is a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia's collection of basic topic lists, or lists of topics in a subject area. Started by The Transhumanist (talk · contribs) on 22 October 2007, it is very new. As a result, the project has only four members, but grew to that size within six days.

The project has found some gaps in basic list topics, and has compiled the list below of lists that should be created.

Project members have also located several lists that are incomplete, and need expansion, and have listed them.

List of basic geography topics is currently nominated to become a featured list. It is a slightly controversial nomination, as the list is a basic topic list, it serves as a sort of "table of contents" with other articles in it, and thus has no sources.

Since the Basic topic lists project is relatively new, it is in need of help. If you are interested, you can join it by adding your name to its members list.
