Outline pages have [trees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_structure) of topics in an [outline format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_\(list\)), 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.

*   [Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines) is a comprehensive list of "Outline of \_\_" pages, organized by subject. It is itself an outline, that links (almost) exclusively to other outlines.
    
*   [Outline of academic disciplines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines) covers subjects studied in college or university and provides links to prose overview articles and their corresponding outlines.
    
*   [Outline of knowledge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_knowledge) is the top-level outline, its subject being the broadest one of all. It is the ancestor of all other outlines, and they branch out from it, in successive levels.
