{{Guideline list}}
'''Stand-alone lists''' (also referred to as '''list articles''') are [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|articles]] composed of one or more [[WP:EMBED|embedded lists]], or series of items formatted into a list. Many stand-alone lists identify their content's format in their titles, beginning with descriptors such as "'''List of'''" ([[List of sovereign states]]), "'''Timeline of'''" ([[Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic]]), or similar.
In the interests of centralization of advice, this guideline page includes content guidelines, listed first; for style guidelines particular to stand-alone lists, see {{section link||Style}}; for naming conventions, see {{section link||Titles}}.
