These "empty years" are:
 * 1) Not necessary with the template. Many of them seem to have been created simply to get rid of redlinks, but changing the bottom years template would fix this issue.
 * 2) Slightly "annoying." Clicking on page after page, and finding no information can get tiresome.
 * 3) Not indicative of the length of the Chronology. It almost seems like that there's more empty years than years with any information (not true, but it's a good percentage).
 * 4) A little bit "encouraging" to new users to up their edit count by making a few of these. Which is probably not a good thing.

Now, obviously these years "existed" in-universe, and undoubtedly something happened with the Sith, or Rakata, or Kol Skywalker or whom/whatever during the empty years. The major argument in keeping them in the past seems to be that "they'll be filled in later." While a good majority of them (and perhaps all) will be expanded upon in the decades to come, there's no need to have an empty page, and we can always recreate, and add to, the page in the future (and even recreate the history if necessary).

Another major support is the fact that they "don't hurt anything" and "Wookieepedia isn't Flimsiplast." The above points, I believe, should indicate that they can, and are, "harmful" to the site.--Tim Thomason 02:07, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
