සැකිලි ප්‍රලේඛනය[නරඹන්න] [සංස්කරණය] [ඉතිහාසය] [විරේචනය]

This template is used on a very large number of pages.
To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template is used by the standard installation of Twinkle. If you are planning to make major changes to this template or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's user base and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy.

This template should not be substituted.

Template:Orphan is used on pages with no incoming links from other articles or lists. The template is responsible for populating sub-categories of Category:Orphaned articles. There are currently 0 orphaned articles.

How to use[සංස්කරණය]

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste either {{Orphan|date=ජනවාරි 2023}} or {{Orphan|{{subst:DATE}}}} at the top of the article.

Please do not subst: this template.

When to use[සංස්කරණය]

This template should only be put on articles which meet the orphan criteria.

Use your judgment about whether to add this template. Do not add this template to articles that you honestly believe will be impossible to de-orphan.

Visibility[සංස්කරණය]

The template message is visible on all pages where the date parameter is set to either the current month or the previous month (currently ජනවාරි 2023 or දෝෂය: අනීතික වේලාව). 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[සංස්කරණය]

With 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[සංස්කරණය]

Several semi-automated tools and bots facilitate orphan-tagging. Some notes on tool implementation:

Per Another tweak for orphans, as of March 9, 2010සැකිල්ල: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.

Parameters[සංස්කරණය]

date[සංස්කරණය]

You may use a date parameter with this template, for example {{Orphan|date=ජනවාරි 2023}} 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[සංස්කරණය]

If 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=ජනවාරි 2023}}, 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. The "att" is an abbreviation for "attempt", as in "I attempted to de-orphan this article but failed".

incat[සංස්කරණය]

If the article has no link and probably never will, but is well categorised the incat option can be used. For example, {{Orphan|date=ජනවාරි 2023|incat=ජනවාරි 2023}}

Per the discussion at template talk:Orphan/Archive 2#"Few links" template?, this parameter was, but is not currently, used in the template itself.
