Orphan?

What makes an article an "orphan" page?--Ricimer 15:18, 30 January 2006 (EST)

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. --Steelviper 15:38, 30 January 2006 (EST)
