Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() {{ FA-Class}} |
Articles that have received "
Featured article" status after
peer review, meeting current criteria.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. |

Lists that have received "

peer review, meeting current criteria.

List of major opera composers,
List of operas by Mozart | ||||
![]() {{ A-Class}} |
The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been
reviewed by impartial reviewers from the Opera WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.
|
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style issues may need addressing. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review may help. |
French opera,
Porgy and Bess | ||
![]() {{ GA-Class}} |
The article has attained
Good article status.
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, excessive information. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time. |
Agrippina,
Dido and Aeneas,
Orfeo ed Euridice,
Parsifal | ||
B {{ B-Class}} |
The article is mostly complete and without major issues, but requires some further work to reach
Good Article standards. B-Class opera articles should meet the
six B-Class criteria and a seventh coverage criterion.
|
Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed, and expert knowledge is increasingly needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the manual of style and related style guidelines. |
Tristan und Isolde | ||
C {{ C-Class}} |
The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial
cleanup.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address cleanup issues. Some parts may need to be substantially reworded, and editors will need to find more references for many existing sections. |
La bohème,
Nell Rankin | ||
Start {{ Start-Class}} |
An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources.
|
Provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more. | Provision of references to reliable sources should be prioritised; the article will also need substantial improvements in content and organisation. |
Le calife de Bagdad,
La gazza ladra | ||
Stub {{ Stub-Class}} |
A very basic description of the topic.
|
Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. |
Baldassare Ferri,
Atenaide (Vivaldi | ||
List {{ List-Class}} |
Any list that has not received "Featured lists" status after peer review. The list should meet the criteria of a stand-alone list, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. |
