Translations:Manual:Random page/1/en

A random page can be viewed via $random. This uses the  function, which is capable of avoiding duplicate values for up to approximately 4,611,686,014,132,420,609 (i.e., ≈ (231 - 1)(231 - 1)) articles, and the  values from the page table. The $hook-name hook can be used to modify the selection criteria. The $ExtraRandompageSQL configuration setting was used as a filter, but has been deprecated in v1.16.
