::In order to qualify for the [[Special:Lonelypages]] (orphan page) you have to no links directed to you. Some common examples of legit orphans include some of the disambig pages (like Apollo and Athena). They can have links coming off of them and still be orphans (like the disambig pages). Orphan pages would be difficult to locate as you could only find them by browsing by category, or by typing their exact name. The orphan list will never hit zero, but it's a good place to look for neglected articles that aren't referenced by anything. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:38, 30 January 2006 (EST) | |||

Any ideas on where we should link to this? I'd like it to be available for folks that need admin help to access (without having to figure out who is an admin, or which admin would be active during a given time period). --Steelviper 13:34, 30 January 2006 (EST)
