Configuration parameters

$wgOrphanedTalkPagesExemptedNamespaces

Controls which talk namespaces should be ignored when looking for orphaned talk pages. This variable is an array of namespace ids and is empty by default.

$wgOrphanedTalkPagesIgnoreUserTalk

Determines if the user talk namespace (3, or NS_USER_TALK) should be ignored when looking for orphaned talk pages. This variable is a boolean and set to true by default.

Other important notes

• The query that this special page uses is considered expensive. This means that when $wgMiserMode is enabled, the results will be served from cache.
• The special page may report talk pages as orphaned when they are not. The most common situation where this happens is File talk pages when $wgUseInstantCommons or $wgForeignFileRepos is enabled.
• While no dedicated API module is provided by OrphanedTalkPages itself, the API does provide the results of Special:OrphanedTalkPages using the querypage query list. For example:

api.php?action=query&list=querypage&qppage=OrphanedTalkPages&format=json&formatversion=2 [<translate> try in ApiSandbox</translate>]
