3. Remove any non-wikilink content, if present.
4. Remove *[[ or #[[ staring wikilink brackets.
5. Remove ]] ending wikilink brackets.
6. Check that content is now a plain list.
7. Copy and paste into JWP "List of pages" column.

3. JWB processes page list, and displays articles (if any)

For example: When "Skip" is "page doesn't contain:" and value is "Orphan", this means only display articles with "Orphan" tag.
