Today's featured list

This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.
This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.

Today's featured list is a section included on the Main Page on Mondays and on Fridays, in which an introduction to one of Wikipedia's featured lists is displayed. See this month's queue. The lists appearing on the Main Page are scheduled by the featured list director, currently Giants2008.

To be eligible to appear on the Main Page, a list must already be featured. For more information on the featured list promotion process, please see the featured list candidates, as well as the featured list criteria. In addition, a blurb is drafted, introducing the subject of the list. Blurbs are roughly 1,000 characters in length, with no reference tags, alternate names or extraneous boldface type, although a link to the specified featured list should be emboldened; a relevant picture is also usually included with the blurb. The previous three lists that were featured on the Main Page appear along the bottom, in reverse chronological order. You can submit a list to be scheduled at the submissions page.

At the moment, lists are scheduled by the featured list director or by the featured list delegates, although we will eventually be devising a community-based system for selecting each day's list. We encourage editors to submit and to review as many blurbs as possible. If you notice a problem with an upcoming featured list to appear on the Main Page, please leave a message at the Main Page errors page or on the TFL talk page.

From the previous featured list (Monday, July 28)

There have been 88 post-credits scenes across 51 properties in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), as of The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025). Mid-credits and post-credits scenes have been used in various MCU media since the beginning of the franchise with the 2008 film Iron Man. The use of such scenes as a whole has changed movie-goer expectations, and has received both praise and criticism. In some cases, MCU films have multiple mid-credits and post-credits scenes, while some excluded them entirely. In addition to such scenes attached to films, the MCU has had post-credit scenes in some television series, generally after the final episode of the series. (Full list...)

Wole Soyinka
Wole Soyinka

The works of the Nigerian author Wole Soyinka comprises 25 plays, ten essay collections, seven poetry collections, five memoirs, three novels, and two translated works. His first major plays were The Swamp Dwellers (1958) and The Lion and the Jewel (1959); both which were performed in Ibadan, Nigeria. After Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu declared the independence of Biafra in 1966, Soyinka was arrested and accused of taking sides following his attempt to negotiate between the Nigerian government and the Biafra separatists. When the Nigerian Civil War ended, he was released in 1969 under amnesty. Madmen and Specialists (1970) was his first play after his release. His arrest and prison experiences were detailed in his first memoir, The Man Died: Prison Notes of Wole Soyinka (1972), which along Poems from Prison was written and smuggled out during his imprisonment.
