There are two ways to look things up in Wikipedia: by [[search engine|searching]] or by [[Web browser|browsing]].

If you know the name of an article you are looking for, simply type it into Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Searching|search]] box and press '''Go''', or you can search for information on a topic by typing it in the box and selecting '''Search'''.

If you would like to look around the encyclopedia to see what's on it, use Wikipedia's '''Contents''' pages. Lists and [[Index (publishing)|indices]] are examples of contents for a published work, and Wikipedia has many of each.&nbsp; Links to all of Wikipedia's main contents pages are presented below, and they in turn link to the more specific pages.

==Wikipedia's reference lists==
=== Overviews of Wikipedia ===
An overview is a survey of what is covered or included in an area. Overviews of Wikipedia's coverage include:
* '''[[Portal:Contents/Overviews|List of overviews]]''' — key articles organized by subject
* '''[[List of academic disciplines]]''' — Wikipedia arranged like a college course curriculum
=== Featured content ===
'''[[Portal:Featured content|Featured content]]''' represents the best Wikipedia has to offer, and undergoes vigorous [[Wikipedia:Peer review|peer review]]. It can be found on the following directories:
*'''[[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured articles]]''' — What we believe to be the best articles in Wikipedia.
*'''[[Wikipedia:Featured pictures|Featured pictures]]''' — Images we find beautiful, shocking, impressive, and informative.
*'''[[Wikipedia:Featured lists|Featured lists]]''' — What we believe to be the best lists in Wikipedia.
*'''[[Portal:Featured portals|Featured portals]]''' — Portals we regard as being particularly useful, attractive, and well-maintained.
*'''[[Wikipedia:Featured topics|Featured topics]]''' — Topics we believe have coverage which is both comprehensive and well written.
*'''[[Portal:Featured sounds|Featured sounds]]''' — Sounds we find beautiful, impressive, and informative.

=== Lists ===
Wikipedia has thousands of topic lists; some are even lists of other lists.
* '''[[Portal:Contents/Lists of topics|Lists of topics]]''' — a comprehensive list of article lists, arranged by subject
* '''[[Portal:Contents/Lists of basic topics|Lists of basic topics]]''' — links to key topics on major subjects
* '''[[:Category:Lists]]''' — a list of lists in the category system, arranged alphabetically
Two of the broadest collections are:
* '''[[Lists of countries]]''' and many [[lists by country]]
* '''[[Lists of people]]''' including [[Lists of people by nationality|by nationality]] and [[Lists of people by occupation|by occupation]]

=== Glossaries ===
[[Glossary|Glossaries]] are lists of terms with definitions:
*'''[[Portal:Contents/List of glossaries|List of glossaries]]''' — a list of glossaries arranged by subject
*'''[[:Category:Glossaries]]''' — glossaries in the category and subcategories, arranged alphabetically

=== Portals ===
Portals are pages that feature selected articles, images, and often news items about the Portal's theme subject. They also include topic lists, category lists, and to-do lists which are used mostly by Wikipedia's editors. Portals can be found at:
*'''[[Portal:Contents/Portals|List of portals]]''' — a list of active portals
*'''[[:Category:Portals]]''' — portals in the category and subcategories, arranged alphabetically

=== Timelines ===
[[Chronology|Timelines]] are lists of articles organized chronologically. These are the top-level timelines and lists of timelines:
*'''[[List of timelines]]''' — a selection of historical timelines, arranged by subject. More can be found in [[:Category:Timelines]]
*'''[[List of centuries]]''' — (e.g. [[20th century]])

==Wikipedia's indices==
===Alphabetical indices===
*'''[[Wikipedia:Quick index|Complete alphabetical index]]''' — sorted by the first 2 letters of the title, e.g. "''Aa Ab Ac Ad...''"

===Categorical indices===
Wikipedia's main [[Category|categorical]] index system is automatically generated from information (category tags) at the bottom of each article. The category system has 3 top-end pages, which are:
*'''[[Portal:Contents/Categorical index|Categorical index]]''' – an index of major categories, arranged by subject - that section of the page is an exception to the category autogeneration rule, as it is crafted by hand.
*'''[[:Category:Categories]]''' — the highest level or "root" category in Wikipedia - its autogenerated entries are listed ''at the bottom of the page.''
*'''[[:Category:Contents]]''' — the category equivalent to this page.
*'''[[:Category:Articles]]''' — the category in which all article category systems are located.

Wikipedia's other broad categorical indices are:
*'''[[List of Dewey Decimal classes]]''' — lists the top two levels of this library classification system
*'''[[Library of Congress Classification]]''' — this article provides a reflection of its own deep linkage structure
*'''[[Wikipedia:Outline of Roget's Thesaurus]]''' — articles organised into a system based on six classes, with thousands of branches, following Roget's system

====Spoken Articles====
*'''[[:Category:Spoken articles]]''' — articles that are available as spoken word recordings
