Category:Orphaned articles
| This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared. |
| This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference is set. |
These articles have very few or no incoming links. They are placed in this category by the {{Orphan}} template, with the optional parameter of the date, e.g. {{Orphan|date=February 2012}}. Using the att= parameter places the article instead in Category:Attempted de-orphan, which is included in this category as a sub-category.
For how to properly de-orphan an article, and for the orphan criteria, see Wikipedia:Orphan, as well as the Orphanage WikiProject.
This category is for orphaned articles only. For orphaned images, please see Category:Orphan images or Category:Orphaned fairuse images.
Note that the bot Addbot started tagging orphans in February 2009, which accounts for the large number of orphans tagged that month.
