Alex, not sure how this works, e.g.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Cascadoss_Symposium_2008
is indexed like that but that's a legal page about a past
event (where we participated).
I consider it a bug if a valid category isn't sufficient to get
a page not be marked as orphaned. Making artificial links
elsewhere doesn't make sense to me - any opinion how to
deal with this phenomenon?

With care :) please don't remove good content!
