The reason why every page on a wiki should have a category is to build a database that is complete and accurate. Obviously, a wiki is a database of information. The fundamental building block of the database is the concept of categorization. Uncategorized pages then exist in somewhat of a 'void', because they aren't included on any category page or in the wiki's category tree / categories list.

It's a disservice, to the community, not to categorize pages - it limits access to those pages through direct search and page links (assuming the uncategorized page is even linked).

How effective do you think the homepage would be if the majority of pages had no category? So it's boggling to me when someone says they don't think it is either good or bad to categorize pages.
