[edit] Orphaned pages

I've been cleaning up orphaned pages and have noted one created by you. If you are going to create a new page, make sure there in another page somewhere that links to it. Pages that aren't linked to from anywhere else on MA are especially troublesome from an administration standpoint, as they represent a "break" in the web we are trying to build. For example, if creating a page temporal integrity commission, go back to the originating episode and create a link to it in the references section, or possibly in a reference tables list of organizations. This is the only way any other user will ever find this page short of manually querying the Wiki software! I regularly query the software about orphans, and this is the only instance I've seen since i registered of there ever being more than one or two orphans at a time, and it's sometimes a tedious process to go through and perform multiple edits simply to pare that list down by linking to these pages properly. The work you are contributing to MA is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance for attempting to conform to policy better in the future... -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 17:02, 16 Sep 2004 (CEST)
