You may see this box for one of three reasons. Either:

A - New page has been created
B - Orphaned subpage; accidently not moved with the old cluster.
C - Cluster move is in progress





















A - New page created

If you are in the process of starting a new cluster then:

The following links will be useful:





















B- Orphaned subpage

If you found this page by following a hyperlink to this page, you may have found an orphaned subpage or metadata page.

What next?
If this is a subpage:
a) with content:
  • Someone may have created subpage content without an article.
  • A page may have been moved to a new location and this page may have been accidently left behind.
    • The former article might have existed at "Orphan subpage".
    • Or it was created as a stand alone subpage and never had an associated article or metadata page.
  • Consider if there is a home to merge the data to or consider starting a cluster around this content.
b) without content:
  • As this page is not associated with any article it should probably be deleted.
If the article name includes a slash:
  • A slash (/) in a title is not compatible with the CZ subpages format.
  • Make this page into a redirect to a more appropriate name. For an example, see GNU/Linux.





















C- For a Cluster Move

  • The metadata template needs to be moved to the new name. It, or clues to its location can be found at the following link.
  • If this is the new metadata template the pagename field has been updated too soon. Change back to the old name and continue guided by the semiautomated Cluster Move Information box.
