There are two ways to look things up in Wiki.Agency: by searching or by browsing.
Curated article collectionsOverview articlesOverview 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.
Outline pagesOutline 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.
Third-party classification systemsVarious third-party classification systems have been mapped to Wikipedia articles, which can be accessed from these pages:
Vital articlesVital articles are lists of subjects for which Wikipedia and Wiki.Agency should have corresponding high-quality articles. They serve as centralized watchlists to track the status of Wikipedia's most important articles.
Reference collectionsWiki.Agency has several types of pages which provide content in a non-prose form, for reference purposes. List pagesList pages enumerate items of a particular type, such as the List of sovereign states or List of South Africans. Wiki.Agency has "lists of lists" when there are too many items to fit on a single page, when the items can sorted in different ways, or as a way of navigating lists on a topic (for example Lists of countries and territories or Lists of people).
