+This plugin generates a list of orhpaned pages -- pages that no other page
+links to.
+
+The optional parameter "pages" can be a [[GlobList]] specifying the pages
+to check for orphans, default is search them all.
+
+Note that it takes backlinks into account, but does not count inlining a
+page as linking to it, so will generally count many blog-type pages as
+orphans.
+
+This plugin is included in ikiwiki, but is not enabled by default.
+If it is turned on, here's a list of orphaned pages on this wiki:

 A plugin system should ideally support things like:
 
-* [[todo/lists]] of pages, of mising pages / broken links, of registered users, etc

+* Wiki stats, such as the total number of pages (done), total number of links, most linked to pages, etc, etc.
 * wiki info page, giving the ikiwiki version etc
 * would it be useful to reimplement the hyperestradier search integration as a plugin?
 * Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)
+* Support for smileys or other symbols. I appreciate the support for check
+  marks, etc in other wikis.
+* For PlaceWiki I want to be able to do some custom plugins, including one
+  that links together subpages about the same place created by different
+  users. This seems to call for a plugin that applies to every page w/o any
+  specific marker being used, and pre-or-post-processes the full page
+  content. It also needs to update pages when related pages are added,
+  so it needs to register dependencies pre-emptively between pages,
+  or something. It's possible that this is a special case of backlinks and
+  is best implemented by making backlinks a plugin somehow. --[[Joey]]

 Another, separate plugin system that already (mostly) exists in ikiwiki is
 the RCS backend, which allows writing modules to drive other RCS systems
 than subversion.
