Ian Clark mentioned to me that there are a few pages that may appear to be orphans on the wiki that have significant importance because external groups link to them. Hopefully, that would show up on the “what links here” button. If it didn’t I suppose we could just add an internal link to them unobtrusively to get them back into the ‘family’.
