'''Category:Orphaned talk page''' — the [[talk page]]s listed in this [[Special:Categories|category]] are '[[orphan]]s'.  That is, they do not have an associated article (or category) pageThis is typically due to the 'parent' of the orphaned talk page being previously moved by way of one or more [[redirect]]s.
'''Category:Orphaned talk page''' — the [[talk page]]s listed in this [[Special:Categories|category]] here on this WikiIndex wiki site are '[[orphan]]s'.  That is, they do not have an associated [[article]] in the [[main]] namespace page, or other [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]] such as [[Category|Category:]], [[File|File:]], [[Help|Help:]], [[Template|Template:]], [[:Category:WikiIndex|WikiIndex:]] (this latter instance is a special namespace which is mapped directly from the site {or project} name), etcOne common scenario is when a registered [[user]] or [[IP editor]] receives a message on their [[WikiIndex:Talk pages for wiki people|user talk]] page, but (for whatever reason) they do not create their own actual [[user page]].  Another scenario can be as a result of [[Help:Renaming pages|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 {{tag|Talk page archive|archive}}.
