When I originally wrote
RandomPages, I found it useful because it always had a page that illuminated the current discussion. I used to say, "
RandomPages has good karma." Now I find too much noise on
WikiWiki for
RandomPages to be useful. In order to quickly find pages to delete, I decided to implement
RandomPage. It's proving very useful for my task. Either one. --

P.S. I recognize I'm breaking my rule never to admit to have written
RandomPages, but I realize that an admission of my guilt has been sitting on
MeatballWiki all this time.
I've downloaded (and occasionally update) the list of all wiki pages,
WikiList. Then I use the
RandomPage link above to access pages and put the ones that are uninteresting (to me) in a file. I then have a process that emails me every time a page not in that list changes. Sometimes they get put into the reject pile as well.
The net result is high-quality reading with a minimum of effort. I also check
QuickChanges and click on other stuff, but I've found that the above process has brought my otherwise rampant Wiki reading under control.
