Well, no, not quite. The thing about an orphaned page is that if no other page on the wiki has a link to it, how will visitors to your wiki ever find it? They would have to be looking specifically for it. At the top of the LonelyPages list, it tells us: The following pages are not linked from or transcluded into other pages.

As an example, the Final Fantasy Wiki has over 1,000 orphaned pages (see here''').
