Check for orphans?: new section
Check for orphans?: why not, as long as reviewers don't have to de-orphan
Line 231:
 
The previous script checked for [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphans]] and added [[Template:Orphan]] as necessary. That would be a good enhancement to the new script; "orphan" is a useful maintenance category that draws attention to articles that need more integration into the encyclopedia, and the template gives one-click access to [[User:Edward/Find_link| a script]] to find links from other articles.

:That's a good idea, as long as the script does not suggest that the reviewer de-orphan the page. The reviewers have enough to do already, and each new expectation (such as adding Wikiprojects, wikidata and categories), while desirable in the long run, slows down the reviewing and makes the backlog larger. —[[User:Anne Delong|Anne Delong]] ([[User talk:Anne Delong|talk]]) 17:29, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
