A couple of reasons actually. Aesthetic is one, yes.

We also had a very strong push with a good deal of our regular editors to fix redirects, remove duplicate pages, fix red links, and adjust broken references. This was agreed upon by the majority of our most active members and the process just sorta stuck.

Finally, other wikis seem to have these red links and they stay that way for while, even with the suggested idea being 'hey, we need this page made up'. It doesn't seem to press people to make them as well as it should, and with our wiki slowing considerably since D1 and D2, it just doesn't seem new pages get created all that often.
