How do they clutter the "worthwhile" entries? Wikipedia is not paper.
RandomPages
RandomPages is one reason for which we really need article classification by topic, as at the moment it roughly assumes that articles are going to spread across all topics equally. If that ever was true it certainly isn't true now. Even if autogenerated articles were excluded, in the long term we would get certain topics having far more articles than others.
To avoid giving a skewed view of the pedia we need some sort of classification systems so that the RandomPage function first randomly chooses a topic and then returns a random article from that topic.
