Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Please include a feature that lets you find all "orphan pages"; that is, pages to which there are no links on the site.

We need to try to get this relatively soon in order to support our content inventory and cleanup work. It's not "urgent" but would sure be helpful.

Florian created a spreadsheet for this, so we don't need this feature.

Comment 4

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

Ali: I never saw this spreadsheet. Do you have a link?

Comment 5

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

I haven't done this specific list, if I understand the definition of "orphan pages" correctly.

I understand this feature request to be a list of pages that have "What links here" == 0. So, such a listing depends on the "What links here" feature (bug 813484).

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

Yep, right definition. We start to have quite a few of list/script showing us problems, but we don't have all covered. This one is one of the missing problems we don't have data to act upon.

[ali spivak]

ok, will add to the list of things to prioritize

Comment 8

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Yes; this is intended to provide a quick way to find out what pages are not linked to so they can be updated, on an ongoing basis. We will always have people that create pages without linking to them, and in places that macros don't pick them up automatically.

Speaking of which, this feature will have its job complicated by the auto-generated links -- it will probably have to scan the rendered versions of pages, not the page source.
