the "metadata template".

However, you can create articles without subpages. Just delete the {{subpages}} template from the top of this page and this prompt will disappear. :) Don't feel obligated to use subpages, it's more important that you write sentences, which you can always do without writing fancy code.

If you are in the process of starting a new cluster then:

The following links will be useful:

• Create the metadata page .
• Create the talk page ;
• Create the article page ;
• Constables will create the approval page when article is approved.

B- Orphaned subpage

If you found this page by following a hyperlink to this page, you may have found an orphaned subpage or metadata page.

What next?

If this is a subpage:

a) with content:

• Someone may have created subpage content without an article.
• A page may have been moved to a new location and this page may have been accidently left behind.
  • The former article might have existed at "No metadata template".
  • Or it was created as a stand alone subpage and never had an associated article or metadata page.
• Consider if there is a home to merge the data to or consider starting a cluster around this content.

b) without content:

• As this page is not associated with any article it should probably be deleted.

If the article name includes a slash:

• A slash (/) in a title is not compatible with the CZ subpages format.
• Make this page into a redirect to a more appropriate name. For an example, see GNU/Linux.

C- For a Cluster Move

• The metadata template needs to be moved to the new name. It, or clues to its location can be found at the following link.
• If this is the new metadata template the pagename field has been updated too soon. Change back to the old name and continue guided by the semiautomated Cluster Move Information box.
