Orphan Non Home Pages

It's interesting on occasion to see a list of all pages that are not pointed to by anything other than a ChangesInXXX page, and which themselves do not point to CategoryHomePage.

Obtained by a simple gawk script to process links.txt ...


        BEGIN {

        print ""

        print "Orphan pages other than home pages. Specifically, pages
"

        print "on the C2 wiki that are not pointing to CategoryHomePage,
"

        print "and are not pointed to by anything other than ChangesInXXX."

        print "

"

        }


        /CategoryHomePage/ { for (i=2;i<=NF;i++) tgts[$i] = 1 ; next }

        /^ChangesIn/ { next }


        {   pages[$1] = $1

        for (i=2;i<=NF;i++)

        tgts[$i] = 1

        }


        END {

        n = asort(pages)

        c = 0

        for (i=1;i<=n;i++) {

        p = pages[i]

        if (!(p in tgts)) {

        print "http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?" p "\">" p "
"

        c++

        }

        }

        print "

"

        print c " pages, generated automatically at"

        system("date")

        print ""

        }
