I actually prefer sites that don't auto refresh unless there is a absolute need
for it, Apart from RecentChanges most of the special pages generally wouldn't
be open long enough in my view to really need it.

Although there might be some tiny usability increases, auto refreshing also
introduces a downsides such as when they try to reload when there isn't a
available web connection that it will fail and bring up nasty browser error
messages in most cases.

(I have lived on filtered net connections where I didn't have web after certain
hours, And I like to leave stuff open and come back to it later and not have it
errored out due to failed refreshes)
