Template:Orphan is responsible for populating sub-categories of Category:Orphaned articles. There are currently 0 orphaned articles.
Visibility
தொகுThe template message is visible on all pages where the date parameter is set to either the current month or the previous month (currently திசம்பர் 2024 or பிழை: செல்லாத நேரம்). It is also visible on all pages where it is used inside the {{multiple issues}} template. Older-dated orphan templates used outside of the {{multiple issues}} template are invisible by default, but are still categorized. To override the default and make the message visible on all pages where it's placed, put the following line in your common.css file (create the file if you don't have one yet):
.ambox-Orphan{display: table !important;}
This may not work in some older browsers - if it doesn't work, use
.ambox-Orphan{display: block !important;}
instead.
Alternatively, to never see this tag, you could instead add to your common.css:
.ambox-Orphan{ display: none !important; }
The orphan message box is invisible on this page by default. If you have correctly installed the above common.css the orphan message box is visible here.
Rationale
தொகுWith over 100,000 orphaned articles in the project, WikiProject Orphanage has an extreme backlog. The tags on newly created articles are visible for a month or two, in hopes that the article's creators or reviewers will tend to the issue. After a couple of months it's assumed that the WikiProject will need to take on the task, and project members use their common.css files to keep the templates visible. The community consensus is that this issue is insufficiently critical to merit notifying general readers of the issue for more than a couple of months, unless the article has {{multiple issues}}. Please review the discussions related to this on Template talk:Orphan and its archives.
Automated placement and adjustment
தொகுSeveral semi-automated tools and bots facilitate orphan-tagging. Some notes on tool implementation:
- Per Another tweak for orphans, as of March 9, 2010[needs update] AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) restricts orphan tag addition to linkless pages.
- Per Move orphan (and some more) tags on the top, AWB moves incorrectly positioned orphan tags to the correct location for orphan tags, at or near the top of the article.
When to use
தொகுThis template should only be put on articles which meet the orphan criteria.
How to use
தொகுThe simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste either {{Orphan|date=திசம்பர் 2024}}
or {{Orphan|{{subst:DATE}}}}
at the top of the article.
- Please do not subst: this template.
Parameters
தொகுdate
தொகுYou may use a date parameter with this template, for example {{Orphan|date=திசம்பர் 2024}}
to help with the categorisation of articles requiring links. If you leave it out, a bot will fill it in (but this will result in more edits and watchlist alerts, so adding the date right away is preferred).
att
தொகுIf you have made an unsuccessful attempt to de-orphan the article, then please add the month/year of the attempt to the template, like so, {{orphan|date=Month Year|att=திசம்பர் 2024}}
, where the |date=
parameter is the date the template was originally placed on the page, and the |att=
parameter is set to equal the current month and year. This places it in Category:Attempted de-orphan for that date and also hides the article message box.
incat
தொகுIf the article has no link and probably never will, but is well categorised the incat option can be used. For example, {{Orphan|date=திசம்பர் 2024|incat=திசம்பர் 2024}}
Per the discussion at template talk:Orphan/Archive 2#"Few links" template?, this parameter was, but is not currently, used in the template itself.

Categories
தொகுThis template places the article into "Category:All orphaned articles" as well as "Category:Orphaned articles from {{{date}}}".
If the "att
" parameter is set, the article will still be in Category:All orphaned articles, but instead of placing the article into "Category:Orphaned articles from {{{date}}}" (e.g. Category:Orphaned articles from திசம்பர் 2024), it places it into "Category:Attempted de-orphan from {{{att}}} (e.g. Category:Attempted de-orphan from திசம்பர் 2024).
