Page Import created orphaned pages - How to Fix?

I am new to mediawiki and I imported 1088 pages from a formatted XML file. During the import it froze and only 900 some imported. From viewing all pages though it appeared those pages were made successfully. I ran a secondary import of the remaining pages and this completed successfully, but upon further inspection, I noticed my wiki's statistics only said I had 169 pages (pages done in second import), and the other pages were all orphans.

I've tried some mass delete extensions to just delete the 900 some orphans and re-import them, but I couldn't get the extensions to work! I actually don't 100% what the severity of the page being orphaned is in the first place, but being a bit OCD it irks me my site statistics only shows 169 pages when I really have 1088 pages! Is this something I need to fix, and if so, what is the easiest way to fix the orphaned pages?

EDIT: The orphaned pages are in the MySQL database tool, the only difference I see from the 169 regular pages being the "page_links_updated" column is set to "NULL" for the orphans whereas the 169 regular pages all have a long number inserted there.

Thank you for any help on this!
