<translate> The random page feature allows users to view a wiki page at random. The default, and most convenient use is to show a random page in the main namespace, and is accessed through the <tvar|random>Special:Random</> page. Users will be redirected to the selection.

This is achieved by specifying a namespace as a parameter to the page, i.e. <tvar|help>Special:Random/Help</> will select a random page in the Help namespace; <tvar|category>Special:Random/Category</> will show the contents of a random category, etc.

Settings

  • <tvar|ContentNamespaces>Template:Ll</> - this will set what namespaces should be counted as article content and included in <tvar|random>Special:Random</> function
