Don't need multiple templates necessarily. Just something like:
{{#ifexpr:{{{links|0}}} > 0
| {{ambox|...| visible banner part |...}} [[Category:Orphaned articles]]
| [[Category:Articles which aren't really orphaned but need more
incoming links]]
}}
Of course you'd have to run a bot to count whatlinkshere
(&namespace=0) and change the code from {{orphan|date=July 2002}} to
{{orphan|date=July 2002|links=3}} based on the number of the counting.
Some kind of magic word for {{NUMBEROFINBOUNDLINKS|0}} (last bit being
the namespace) would make this immeasurably easier.
But even though you'll find disagreement about how many links are
"enough" for a certain article. Five is right out. After a couple
hundred you'll find people fighting the other way with their
auto-delinking scripts/bots.
