CulDeSac (a.k.a. a ''knot''): A Wiki page, or an interlinked set of pages, with no outbound links. Once you're inside a CulDeSac, there's no way out (except through standard navigation links like BackLink''''''s, FindPage, and LikePages). Some WalledGardens are CulDeSac''''''s; creating either is discouraged on Wiki, because neither serves as a GoodEntryPoint to Wiki. If you run across a CulDeSac, consider * adding an outbound link * refactoring it into a related page * deciding whether it's a DeletionCandidate Some ShortWikiPages are CulDeSac''''''s. * UseModWiki has a discussion of algorithms used to find CulDeSac''''''s: http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?KnotDetection. * See WikiLinkStructureAnalysis * Contrast with OrphanPage ---- CategoryWikiStructure
