Version 1.5rc4
Just replace the caching section with this:

# Prevent caching global $wgParser; $wgParser->disableCache;

Option tag
This is a most useful extension, but I would suggest that the tag be replaced by a tag of a different name as this tag already exists in HTML and may lead to a conflict on closed wiki installations that have that tag enabled. Great script. 86.132.17.233 14:16, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Random articles in category(ies)
An option to show a link to a random article in a specific category (or groups of categories) would be nice; randomized DPL parameters too. —Eep² 13:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

MW_PARSER_VERSION?
I notice that the extension looks at MW_PARSER_VERSION to determine which MediaWiki version is running. This value appears not to be defined at all any more by MediaWiki as of the "new" parser in MW 1.13 (and likely the later 1.12alpha) versions. Will this have any affect on operation? --Carlb 19:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Well spotted! Fixed in latest version. --Algorithm 21:08, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Installation
Maybe it's obvious, just i don't actually get how this extension is implemented into my MediaWiki project. I could start guessing which php file to extent with the code, but I'm not (yet) at that level of programming. A hint would be most apreciated. --Carsten3m 10:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
