How about we add " Template:Wikipediacats-flat" here? Although those are a type of categories, they are not category pages and they do link to basic kind of information (such as time, etc.) [[User:Brettz9| Brettz9 (talk)]] 19:45, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻
The name "abstraction" for a category (and its choice of categories) is awful. Can't we find better categories or invent a new one with a different name to put these in?? Revolver 09:08, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The "Movements" link seems inappropriate
Am I just confused, or had somebody deleted this page? It links right off the Main Page, so I didn't think it should be deleted. (Gosh, I hope I didn't do it myself, by accident.) Uncle Ed 19:04, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
Culture should include a link to the cuisine portal. How do I go about doing that? -- Rakista 20:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Why are there two links to Systems Theory (on under mathmatics, and one under the main box)? I noticed that one goes to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_Theory, and the other to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_theory (a very minor difference). I'd edit it, but I'm not sure if it's that way for a reason.
This browse page doesn't "overview" articles any more than the category or portal browse pages. I propose it be renamed to "Browse by article." — RDF talk 04:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
WP:BROWSE is the overviews and Wikipedia:Browse is the Categories. We need to make this less confusing. -- Fplay 23:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm fairly new to this project, so I'm not going to make big changes without consulting you guys, but what do you think of something like this version of the overview page? I'm not sure how to fill up the righthand side of the bottom of the page yet, but I'm working on it. Also, I'd like the images to be on the right, but alignment is more important. If we could, we should use <div> tags to correctly align the images to the right of their categories. - ElAmericano | talk 22:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to suggest adding publishing. Most other types of mass media are included. Maurreen 05:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

The icon that displays when an image can't be shrunk down to the size specified in an image link has been replaced by a TechSpot ad. The artic map was triggering the display of the ad, but I increased the size slightly and the ad went away. But the ad still needs to be tracked down, and the original error image restored. -- The Transhumanist 23:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
List your favorite rename candidates here.
Since my move was reverted I will make it clear why I believe that this ans all the other pages listed on the top of this one should be moved to Wikipedia space rather than Article space.

Therefore, forcing lists of lists to the Wikipedia namespace cripples the list system. The Transhumanist 17:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Please see a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Contents#Contents pages, and lists of lists concerning the Wikipedia:Contents subpages, and specifically on the namespace they belong in. Thanks. -- Quiddity 17:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
It appears some company tried to turn this page into advertising; I didn't realize this at first, but I fixed it and I will be keeping an eye on this page. Eran of Arcadia 13:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the ambox at the top of the article. It appears that this is an attempt to force the issue identified at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of overviews. I note that WP:POINT may apply: this page is potentially used by hundreds or thousands of readers every day, whose first impression will be that the page is (somehow) wrong. It's not - there just are editors who want it to be located in a different place (at least that seems to be the sort-of-consensus). An article messagebox on the top of the page isn't the right way to get editors to come to a consensus on where it goes, so I have removed it. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm using this page to test the process of transcluding contents page sections to multiple pages. You can see the related discussion at Portal talk:Contents#Topics-based contents pages project. You can see a working example of how a section here is transcluded to another page at Portal:Contents/Reference. RichardF 03:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
A group of editors is working on coordinating Portal:Contents and all of its subpages. This activity has two basic parts. The simplest part is to coordinate their presentation, such as page layouts. Most of the discussions about how to accomplish this are at Portal talk:Contents. The more involved part is to coordinate their substance, such as what gets linked from the pages and their classifications. Most of the discussions about how to accomplish this are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Contents and related projects such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics, Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of topics, Wikipedia:WikiProject Glossaries, Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals and Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories. Please feel free to join in on these activities. RichardF ( talk) 12:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Abiogenesis should be added under natural sciences —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yosef1987 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
This page just lists regular articles, like Art, Earth or University. In what way are these "overviews"? Overviews of what? If you like, any article is an "overview" of its topic. If this is simply a "list of core topics", how is it different from Portal:Contents/Lists of topics, which is obviously also a list of core topics. Unlesss somebody is able to describe exactly what this page is supposed to do, it would be best to {{ merge}} it into Portal:Contents/Lists of topics. -- dab (𒁳) 11:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
The name does not represent what it is. It IS a list of categorized articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenriolover789 ( talk • contribs) 14:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia's current overview is great. but it can even be greater. For example,
here is the current order:
|
here is a better order, carefully arranged (in 3 years) from prerequisite subjects to dependent ones:
|
It's never perfect, but
Since the alphabetical order is not required here, I can also classify the arrangment of sub-contents. example: the section about technology really needs to be arranged.

Under the Ages of History section, I noticed that the Information Age is listed before the Space Age. Since these seem to be listed in chronological order, should these two be switched to where the Information Age is last?
