This is a list of all articles in the Main namespace which had been visited at least 5000 times as of June 23 2005, since the previous software upgrade.
This page exists to track the status of the "most visible" pages, with the goal of making them all featured articles or lists.
The steps in this process are (roughly) the following:
- Identify the current status of each article
- Address any remedial tags like {{NPOV}}
- Expand {{expansion}} requests
- Address talk page criticisms and "todo list" items
- List on Wikipedia:Peer review
- Address issues raised during peer review
- List on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates or Wikipedia:Featured list candidates, as appropriate
If a page will never be awarded featured status because the topic does not meet the criteria, that should be noted.
- The accuracy of this list is disputed. See Wikipedia talk:Most visited articles for an explanation.
