Orphan/doc

[purge]

This is the documentation page. It should be transcluded into the main template page. See Template:Documentation for more information

This template should be used on pages that need to be linked from somewhere. Unlike many of the pages present on the Special:LonelyPages special page, this template should be used instead when it is highly necesary to have the page linked from other pages.

Usage

{{orphan|1=note}}

• The 1 parameter adds an additional note. It should always be pages that need to have links to the page that uses this template.

This template will categorize the page into Category:Orphaned pages.
