Project #2: Orphaned pages

One of the most important features of any wiki is that pages link to other pages. Orphaned pages are those that don't have anything linking to them. We have a convenient list of orphaned pages at Special:Lonelypages.

The best way to link to a lonely page is with a story page. Click on any orphaned page, look at the story (or stories) cited. Then go to that story, see if the word/phrase is already on the story page, and if it is, link it. If it's not on the page, the place for it is the References section. Just a brief statement (in a complete sentence) is enough: something like, "The Doctor mentions Albert Einstein."

And just as a side note, if you create a page, make sure something links to it. There's no reason to keep adding new articles to Special:Lonelypages.
