Empty Articles

Something which concerns me about the creation of multiple empty articles without even a basic definition first-line and a {{stub}} tag is that visitors to the site can get the impression that there's a lot of nothing here. I know folks who like to come here and hit the "random" link successively, and with lots of empty articles, there will come be a preponderance of disappointment. This also will skew our results as they appear in search engines. Perhaps we should leave in-development articles simply as links in existing articles (or places like talk pages) until there's at least a little something to put on them?

I see your point & it's convincing. I'll plan to populate (most of) them with some content shortly. OTOH my idea was to give a framework for growth -- some folks might be willing to contribute, but shy to start new topics. OTOOH (yes, there's 3) - I think that's just the way I "paint a fence" not linearly, but sketching out large sections and then going back to fill in bit by bit. It's probably a learning disorder, but... :-). - Fr. John
