@Atlantic306, under Options menu, please tick "Restrict orphan tag addition to linkless pages" then report back whether AWB is tagging as expected.

Hi, have only got an ipad at home so haven't been able to check yet but the problem is that the default setting of AWB is to add orphan tags to pages with less than 3 eligible incoming links which is in direct contravention of [[WP:Orphan]] which states that orphan tags should only be added to articles with no eligible links. This was confirmed at a well attended VP discussion on orphans a few months ago. Therefore the AWB should not have the default or an option to add tags to articles with at least one eligible incoming links, thanks Jimmy ( Atlantic306)

@Atlantic306 I completely agree, at least as far as the English Wikipedia is concerned. I recently did an AWB run, letting it tag three articles as {{Orphan}}. I was quickly reverted as each of those articles already had at least one backlink from article space. Apparently, the guidance for the {{Orphan}} tag (and [[WP:O]], as you mention) changed in recent years from a definition of "fewer than three" to "zero". I was unaware of this change, and AWB's default behavior put me in the wrong. I quickly discovered this checkbox, but have to wonder why it still exists, let alone why it is the default.

Building on this request, [[Wikipedia:Orphan#Criteria]] states "A single, relevant incoming link is sufficient to remove the tag." Therefore, as part of the request above, could AWB also remove {{orphan}} when there is at least one incoming link from articlespace? Thanks!
