Explore view, explore view, explore view!  (There ought to be a FAQL for this list...)

If you don’t see the blue developers tool bar at the bottom of a Freebase page, hit F8.  Then, for some topic that *has* an article, click on “Explore” in that toolbar.

If, for some reason, F8 doesn’t work for you, you can change /view/ in any URL to /tools/explore/, for example

http://www.freebase.com/view/en/publicly_listed_company

becomes

http://www.freebase.com/tools/explore/en/publicly_listed_company

There, you can see, in the outgoing links, that it has a /common/topic/article property with value /guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000074a993.

If you wanted to add an article to that topic, then, the write query would be:

{
  "id" : "/en/publicly_listed_company",
  "/common/topic/article" : {
    "id" : "/guid/12345",
    "connect" : "insert"
  }
}
