book for ease of reference. That is, the information is intended to be quickly found when needed.

Curated article collections

Overview articles
Overview articles summarize in prose a broad topic like biology, and also have illustrations and links
to subtopics like cell biology, biographies like Carl Linnaeus, and other related articles like Human
Genome Project.

 Wikipedia:Contents/Overviews lists overview articles from covered fields in a single page.

Outline pages
Outline pages have trees of topics in an outline format, which in turn are linked to further outlines
and articles providing more detail. Outlines show how important subtopics relate to each other based
on how they are arranged in the tree, and they are useful as a more condensed, non-prose
alternative to overview articles.

 Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines is a comprehensive list of "Outline of __" pages, organized by

subject. It is itself an outline, that links (almost) exclusively to other outlines.
 Outline of academic disciplines covers subjects studied in college or university, and provides
links to prose overview articles and their corresponding outlines.
 Outline of knowledge is the top-level outline, its subject being the broadest one of all. It is the
ancestor of all other outlines, and they branch out from it, in successive levels.
