Alternative usage
The template has two forms depending on what pages are missing:
- Appearance 1 text will appear on any page that has an article page but no associated metadata page.
- Appearance 2 text will appear on a page with no associated metadata page or article page (orphaned subpages).
Appearance 1
- The text below will appear on any page that has an article page but no associated metadata page.
A - For a New Cluster use the following directions
Subpages format requires a metadata page.
Using the following instructions will complete the process of creating this article's subpages.
- Click the blue "metadata template" link below to create the page.
- On the edit page that appears paste in the article's title across from "
pagename = ".
- You might also fill out the checklist part of the form. Ignore the rest.
- For background, see Using the Subpages template Don't worry--you'll get the hang of it right away.
- Remember to hit Save!
the "metadata template".
However, you can create articles without subpages. Just delete the {{subpages}} template from the top of this page and this prompt will disappear. :) Don't feel obligated to use subpages, it's more important that you write sentences, which you can always do without writing fancy code.

B - For a Cluster Move use the following directions
The metadata template should be moved to the new name as the first step. Please revert this move and start by using the Move Cluster link at the top left of the talk page.
The name prior to this move can be found at the following link.

Appearance 2
- The text below will appear on a page with no associated metadata page or article page (orphaned subpages). This is transcluded from the template {{Orphan subpage}}.
This is an Orphan subpage. Details:
|
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 "No metadata template".
- 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 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.
