  • If there is significant content on the other subpages then preserve this page.
  • Probably OK to delete if no other content since any page move would have required a new metadata page.
If the article name includes a backslash:

  • The former article might have existed at "Orphan subpage" the basepage value.
  • Or possibly at [[Template:Orphan subpage/Metadata]], taken from the pagename in the metadata page.
  • Or it was created as a stand alone subpage and never had an associated article or metadata page.
  • Or the title includes a backslash (/) which is not compatible with the CZ subpages format.
