{{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'''", "'''timeline of'''", or similar.
In the interests of centralization of advice, this guideline page includes content guidelines, listed first; style guidelines particular to stand-alone lists, at {{section link||Style}}; and naming conventions, at {{section link||Titles}}.
