Help:Random root page/fr

Randomrootpage (Special:Randomrootpage) allows the display of a random root page a wiki.

The regular random link generator (Special:Random) is not suitable for some wikis or namespaces where utilising subpage hierarchies (such as Wikibooks). So this function can be used as a substitute. For example, it can be used to show "random books" in Wikibooks, instead of random pages. In a namespace where there are no subpages then the functionality is the same as Special:Randompage.

By default, selection will be limited to pages from namespaces in. The user can choose which namespace to look in. For example, if they wanted to view a random file they could go to Special:Random/file. If they wanted to view a random mainspace page they could go to Special:Random/main, etc.

Utilisation
There is currently no functionality that provides the random display of a subpage.

Some wikis utilise this in the configuration of their sidebar (Mediawiki:Sidebar).

Historique
This functionality used to be in Extension:Randomrootpage though was merged into core in MediaWiki 1.27.
