There are two negative effects to having pages with no substantial content:


 * 1) Google and other search engines think that pages on the site are empty, which thus hurts our search engine rankings.
 * 2) Special:Randompage will annoy a lot of people if they come across those basically-empty pages.

It also really ticks me off to have pages that empty. It's a necessary evil for things like Gratobie, unfortunately.
