Orphanage

1Pages meant to be Orphans

In Wiki terminology, an Orphan is a page that's just floating around in the page database without having any other pages linking to it. Sometimes, it will turn out to be a useful page that should be linked to from other pages. Other times, maybe not.

You can help out by:

Figuring out good places to link to orphaned pages. Keep in mind though that once there is a single link to a page, it stops being an orphan and disappears from the list, so do try to link to it from all relevant places at once.
- Keep in mind that orphans have a tendency to be low on content. You may want to tag too-short ones as stubs before you link them in anywhere.

Deciding that the page will never be anything other than an orphan, and chuck a link to it under one of the headings below. This gets it out of the list.

[hide][top]Pages meant to be Orphans

Sometimes, there's just no obvious reason to link to a page from somewhere else. At least, it's unlikely enough that we don't want the page clobbering the auto-generated list of orphans above. We add such pages to the categories below just to get them out of the list. Examples include:

Player pages
Glossary items (which are navigated via categories)
... (more?)

We make no effort to keep these lists sorted. The only small concession to order we make, is try to categorize them somewhat in case someone decides to make a real page and link to a lot of them. If you can think of a new logical heading that'd be able to hold a bunch of orphans, feel free to add it!
