These articles have very few or no incoming links. They are placed in this category by the Script error: No such module "Template link general". template, with the optional parameter of the date, e.g. {{Orphan|date=July 2024}}. Using the att= parameter places the article instead in Category:Attempted de-orphan, which is included in this category as a sub-category.

For how to properly de-orphan an article, and for the orphan criteria, see Wikipedia:Orphan, as well as the Orphanage WikiProject.

This category is for orphaned articles only. For orphaned images, please see:

• Category:Orphaned non-free use Wikipedia files
• Category:Wikipedia orphaned files

Note that the bot Addbot started tagging orphans in February 2009, which accounts for the large number of orphans tagged that month.
As of January 2013 Addbot resumed untagging pages that were no longer orphaned so this category is up to date. BattyBot and Yobot also untag pages that are no longer orphaned.
