Some notes about whether Chabad fits within the "label" Orthodox Judaism or not
"See also" the entry for Chabad Lubavitch ... at (about the 6th "bullet" or so, under the "Movements, organizations, and groups" section, at Orthodox_Judaism.)

AS OF the current version there (that is, the 12:17, 11 October 2017‎ version) it said: (along with the following "bullet" point, -- that is, the 7th "bullet" -- [which may be related])

 * Chabad Lubavitch is a branch of Hasidic Judaism widely known for its emphasis on outreach and education. The organization has been in existence for 200 years, and especially after the Second World War, it began sending out emissaries (shluchim) who have as a mission the bringing back of disaffected Jews to a level of observance consistent with Chabad norms (i. e., Orthodox Judaism, Chassidus, Chabad messianism, Tanya). They are major players in what is known as the Baal Teshuva movement. Their mandate is to introduce Chabad philosophy to non-observant Jews, and to make them more observant as Beinonis.     According to sociologists studying contemporary Jewry, the Chabad movement neither fits into the category of Haredi or modern Orthodox, the standard categories for Orthodox Jews. This is due in part to the existence of the "non-Orthodox Hasidim" (of which include former Israeli President Zalman Shazar), the lack of official recognition of political and religious distinctions within Judaism and the open relationship with non-Orthodox Jews represented by the activism of Chabad emissaries.
 * The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute is a provider of adult Jewish courses on Jewish history, law, ethics, philosophy, and rabbinical literature. It also develops Jewish studies curricula specifically for women, college students, teenagers, and seniors. In 2014, there were 117,500 people enrolled in JLI, making it the largest Jewish education network in the world.

...with the understanding that some of the markup, -- having been imported and maybe not carefully [enough] "inspected" during that importing -- might not work well in the context of this "Talk:" page. Updates might be done, in the future ... to fix that. (but ... maybe not.)
