In the Wikipedia glossary, an orphan is defined as "an article with no links from other pages in the main article namespace". These pages can still be found by searching Wikipedia, but it is preferable that they can also be reachable by links from related pages; it is therefore helpful to add links from other suitable pages with similar and/or related information. De-orphaning articles is an important aspect of building the web. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan) This is a really great, simple way for new editors to contribute to Wikipedia!
