If you are in the process of starting a new cluster

The following links will be useful:

If you found this page by following another link here

Then you may have found an orphaned subpage or metadata page.

The former article might have existed at "Orphan subpage" the basepage value.
Or possibly at [[Template:Orphan subpage/Metadata]], taken from the pagename in the metadata page.
Or it was created as a stand alone subpage and never had an associated article or metadata page.
Or the title includes a backslash (/) which is not compatible with the CZ subpages format.
What next?

If the subpage has content:

Someone may have created subpage content without an article.
A page may have been moved to a new location and this page may have been accidently left behind.
Consider if there is a home to merge the data too or consider starting a cluster around this content.

If the subpage has no content:

If it is a metadata page:

See what links to it to get an idea of what other pages got lost when the article was deleted:
If there is significant content on the other subpages then preserve this page.
Probably OK to delete if no other content since any page move would have required a new metadata page.

If the article name includes a backslash:

Make this page into a redirect to a more appropriate name. For an example, see GNU/Linux.
