Do we really need to clog the airwaves with a half dozen Ted the Caver pages? No other story gets this kind of treatment. Seems like a waste of space, time, and effort that keeps other, newer stories off of the "Recent Activity" list.

The alternative would have been to upload the pages piecemeal over a couple of days, and, well, I have other stuff to do.
If other users wanted to write a story in the form of a simulated blog with multiple article subpages, we'd generally be okay with that. We "bury" stuff in the RA feed for wiki business all the time, such as when we clear out a bunch of M4R stories at once or whenever we have to delete a story with more than 50 comments. Getting your story noticed in the RA feed is a lottery anyway and we're not going to just not do stuff to avoid pushing stuff down.
Plus, like Cleric said, the RA feed is going away soon anyway.

What's the difference between Recent Activity and Recent Changes?
Also, even though I can't change it now, I agree with JDeschene.
This is Recent Changes:
https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
Fandom is retiring Recent Activity, though it could take up to a year before this wiki is affected.
Writer's Showcase pops up at the front page if you're looking to have your newer stuff be seen.
I don't know about you, but personally, I almost never visit the front page. I literally never arrive at the wiki by way of it. I would venture to say that most people get here through a story page or a comment or even a forum response. This is all to say that having it on the front page is great, but that's only one very easy to miss place.
Guess I'm the odd one out then. I guess that Ted the Caver thing will be over with soon however. So while it's somewhat annoying, it's not something that should affect any of us in the long term.

Your way definitely could be the more common one. I just know that I don't tend to do it that way. In any event, I think more could be done to draw attention to new stories.
I usually arrive through the main page and branch out from there.
And personally, I think splitting the original Ted the Caver story into multiple pages is a good change. I never had the patience to read the original story, so hopefully this new format will be a little easier to digest. Plus, it helps keep the realism of it actually being a series of blog posts.
For the record, I also made this for those who prefer to read it the old way:
