{{WTMM-note|Although not officially signed up to the project (which I affectionately refer to as The Orphanage), I do participate in de-orphaning pages which I think is an important part of improving Wikipedia. If every active editor de-orphaned just one page per week, we would not need such a project.
To de-orphan an article, just add meaningful links to it, using this:
...in your edit summary for each linked article, and this:
...in your edit summary when you remove the orphan tag.
Give an Orphan a family today, you know it makes sense.}}
