The {noparent} macro lists all [USERGUIDE:Orphan Pages] within a space, i.e. pages without a parent...
In most cases, pages will be attached to a parent page to create a manageable site hierarchy. However, there may be cases where you need to create a page without a parent (eg. to hide it from the [USERGUIDE:Site Map]) in which case this macro can be used to list such pages.
Add the macro to your page as follows:
{noparent}
The macro will list all pages that do not have a parent within the current space, excluding the space home page.

Hints and Tips
This macro is very handy for finding "lost" pages. Pages can become unexpectedly orphaned if you move thier parent page to another space, but don't transfer the children at the same time. All those child pages will become Orphans and the {noparent} macro is a good way to find them.
Orphan pages can also be created, unexpectedly, when using the alias macro.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q
Can I display [USERGUIDE:Orphan Pages] from another Space?
A
Yes. Use the children macro or simply use the {noparent} macro on a page within the desired Space.
