Category:Orphaned talk page — the talk pages listed in this category are 'orphans'. That is, they do not have an associated article in the main namespace page (or other namespace such as Category:, File:, Help:, WikiIndex:, etc). One common scenario is when a registered user or IP editor receives a message on their user talk page, but (for whatever reason) they do not create their own actual user page. Another scenario can be as a result of moving pages, and the related redirect pages created as a result of moving pages; double or multiple redirects are a particular cause of this problem. A third example is when a talk page (in any namespace) becomes excessively long or out-dated, and is moved to an archive.
