This script runs on pages in article space that are tagged with {{Orphan}} or some version of it and gives the orphan status of the page by checking the number of incoming links.
If there is at least one incoming link from article space (it will offer a link to "other pages" which is a filtered WhatLinksHere so you can see exactly which articles) then there will be a deOrphan link. Clicking that link will try and remove the {{Orphan}} tag from the page.
When the attempt (successful or not) is completed it will either give a link to load only the diff of the edit (in cases where it detected the old syntax for Multiple issues which it has trouble with in some cases) or links to reload or view the diff.

Future plans include having it automatically attempt to deOrphan articles with three or more incoming links, improving detection of an "orphan" template, and detection of whether or not the incoming links are "list" or "disambig" pages as needed.
