Revision as of 16:35, 28 March 2008

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

The following links will be useful:

If you found this page by following another link here then:

You may have found an orphaned subpage or metadata page.

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.
What next?

If the subpage has 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.
Consider if there is a home to merge the data too or consider starting a cluster around this content.

If the subpage has no content:

If it is a metadata page:

See what links to it to get an idea of what other pages got lost when the article was deleted:
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:

Make this page into a redirect to a more appropriate name. For an example, see GNU/Linux.
