True Orphans
Concepts and people referenced in the source OGM Wiki that don't have pages of their own. Writers used [[Some Topic]] syntax intending to point somewhere, but no file with that title exists.
True orphans are the most explicit kind of "missing content" signal: a writer cared enough to make a link, but the destination is not there. Each one below is referenced from at least two source pages.
Concept orphans
Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom
The DIKW hierarchy — referenced 4 times across foundational documents:
OGM Stewardship/Documents/Draft OGM-Lionsberg MoU from April-May 2021.mdOGM Stewardship/Documents/OGM Bootstrap MOU/Appendix D - Larger, Evolving Vision Document.mdOGM Structure/OGM Infrastructure (Evolving).mdOGM Structure/The Five Layers.md
Foundational enough that it appears in MOUs and infrastructure documents, but never written up. A core piece of the OGM conceptual vocabulary that a newcomer would not be able to find.
Pareto Principle
Referenced 2x, both in MOU-era documents:
OGM Stewardship/Documents/Draft OGM-Lionsberg MoU from April-May 2021.mdOGM Stewardship/Documents/OGM Bootstrap MOU/Appendix D - Larger, Evolving Vision Document.md
Used as a load-bearing concept in vision documents.
Triple-Loop Learning
Referenced 2x, same MOU-era documents as Pareto Principle. A specific organizational-learning framework cited as part of OGM's conceptual stack.
Modular Content
Referenced 2x in the wiki's own how-we-wiki documentation:
The concept the wiki uses to talk about how it organizes content — not written up.
Midpoint Retrospective Process
Referenced from OGM Stewardship/Documents/Draft OGM-Lionsberg MoU from April-May 2021.md and Templates/ENTITY1-ENTITY2 Project Coordination.md. A formal process named in templates and MOUs but never described.
Wrap-up Retrospective Process
Same pattern as Midpoint — named in MOUs and templates but not described.
Marley Publishing Infrastructure
Referenced 2x within the Marley project:
The infrastructure that the Marley project's deliverable rests on — not described.
People orphans
People referenced from multiple pages with no People/ entry:
Phil Kennedy
Referenced from:
Meetings/Building OGM, 2021-07-27.mdMeetings/OGM Digital Communication Strategy, 2021-06-23.mdOrganizations/Open Global Mind.md
Stacey Druss
Referenced from:
Meetings/Building OGM, 2021-07-27.mdMeetings/OGM Thursday, 2021-10-07.mdProjects/Weaving the World/Weaving the World First Call Workflow.md
Klaus Mager
Referenced from:
A named NeoBook project author with no People entry.
Structural orphans
These look like links into folders that don't exist or were renamed:
OGM community members
Referenced 3x from MOU-era documents — a list of community members that was promised but never produced.
OGM Stewardship/Meetings/OGM Stewards Jam Sesh, 2021-04-13
Referenced from two sibling meeting notes — a meeting that may have been held but whose page was never created.
OGM Stewardship/Project Plans/Template for Project
Referenced from OGM Culture/OGM Community Patterns.md and OGM Stewardship/Project Plans/Template for Project (How to Use).md. The template's how-to-use exists; the template itself does not.
Patterns that emerge
- MOU-era orphans dominate. A surprising number of true orphans cluster in the 2021 MOU documents (
Draft OGM-Lionsberg MoUandAppendix D - Larger, Evolving Vision Document). Those documents made many forward links to concepts and processes that never got written. - People are systematically under-represented. Three of the most-linked people in the wiki — Phil Kennedy, Stacey Druss, Klaus Mager — have no
People/entry, even though they're named in meeting notes and project pages. - Templates outpace content. "Template for X (How to Use)" exists; "Template for X" doesn't. The how-to-use was easier to write than the template itself.

Computed from the wikilink graph of ogm-wiki. A "true orphan" is a link target with no corresponding .md file (matching by title, capitalization-insensitive). Listed here are orphans referenced from 2 or more source pages. Methodology: Details About This Wiki.
