This is the orphaned talks project.
Instructions edit
These articles all have a talk page but not a main article. Unless the talk pages contain old deletion debates they can be deleted. You must be an administrator to participate.
Please use the summary Admins: help remove more orphaned talk pages at [[User:R3m0t/Reports]] to say where you found the page and to advertise the project, but you must also explain why the page is being deleted if there are reasons other than just it being an orphaned talk page (eg. deleting after page move to <give location of new page>).
Possible false positives:
- Archived talk pages (although I have tried to remove these)
- "To do" subpages (although I have tried to remove these too)
- Archives of old deletion debates (often refer to "Votes for deletion" or the title ends in "/delete".
- Redirects to moved talk pages - these do not need to be deleted as they do no harm. If they do need to be deleted, check "what links here" first and fix links to the redirect to point to the new location.
I removed all User_talk pages - too many false positives, even with the IP pages removed.
So:
- Click on a blue link on one of the subpages.
- Check that the main page does not exist (the link should be red). For images, check that the image was deleted.
- Check whether the talk page has become detached as a result of a page move by searching for more appropriately named pages
- Check the discussion page for any salvageable information, and move it out if appropriate.
- Check "what links here" to see if anyone has linked to the page and fix the links if needed.
- Delete the page. For the summary, please prepend the provided summary to the automatically-generated reason.
