Deleted pages goes to Orphaned Pages in MediaWiki. How? - mediawiki

Recently I started working on MediaWiki. I noticed one thing that when particular dev team delete the page for their project from wiki it goes to Orphaned pages under Tools--->Special Pages.To investigate it I created a page and deleted it but it didn't go to the Orphaned pages.
Can someone have any idea how this is happening?I want that if someone delete the pages it should not go under Orphaned Pages.Are there any permission we need to set or some kind of settings we need to change?

Deleted pages have nothing to do with orphaned pages. Orphaned pages are pages that are not linked from or transcluded into other pages in your wiki.
So there could be active (not deleted) orphaned pages too.
If another page links to an orphaned page it will disappear from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:LonelyPages

How to not cache index.html but cache everything else

Is there a <meta> header that I can add to not cache the index.html page itself but to allow caching for all other assets on that page (images/js/etc).
The reason I need to do this is because when I update my website with new javascript files that are named differently, sometimes when I bring up the updated site, the website tries to load the old files and I have to force refresh the page to update index.html.
(I'm sorry if this is answered before. After searching all stackoverflow posts seem to give great comments but to do not confirm or deny whether other assets on that page will be cached)

How to list all pages or categories on main page in MediaWiki?

I installed CMS MediaWiki, I want to make sure that all pages and categories that are in the database were displayed on the main page with a list or other method, I tried to find information in Google, but didn’t really find anything, can you please tell me where you can see the instructions, or maybe someone already did that?
You can access all the categories in the database via the page Special:Categories and all the pages by Special:AllPages. I believe that using Extension:DynamicPageList, you can list all the pages/categories on the main page by selecting all pages in their namespaces (main and category respectively).

A WordPress site affected by spam and added private page but not listing in the pages tab. But it's showing count as 1 in the pages tab.

Mediawiki Categories contain no pages

I recently installed a wiki on my server using mediawiki. Whenever I add a page to a category the category is linked correctly on the bottom of the page. However, if I open the category page my content page is just not added. It says "This category currently contains no pages or media." even though it links correctly. Did I make a mistake? Reinstalling several times didn't help an the category appears under "unused categories".
One thing that might help is to purge the category page.
Another possible solution is the maintenance script "Rebuildall.php". It helped me some days ago after I had empty categories after importing content to one of my wikis.

Mediawiki: configuring the entry page, adding a new page

Have a wiki installed in our organization, and want to start using it.
Failed to find the answers for the next 2 basic questions:
How do I configure the entry page to show a list of all existing pages
How do I create a new page (!). Only succeeded doing it by typing a url of an non existing page. Guess there are nicer methods for this
Thanks
Gidi
For how to show a list of all pages, look at DynamicPageList, which is part of MediaWiki. (There's a more advanced third-party version, but it's not needed for such a simple task.)
Creating a new page really is exactly as you said: Type a URL and save some edits. Most beginning editors will edit a link into a page, and then use that link to browse to the page, so that they don't accidentally forget the spelling and lose the page to the Ether. (Of course it would show up in the recently edited and other special pages.)
This is more of a webapps.stackexchange.com question though.
