Help:Random page/en



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 $random page. Users will be redirected to the selection.

$randompg is an alias for the feature and works in the same manner.

Namespace selection
Users can also opt to view a random page in a namespace of their choice. This is achieved by specifying a namespace as a parameter to the page, i.e. $help will select a random page in the Help namespace; $category will show the contents of a random category, etc.

Settings

 * - this will set what namespaces should be counted as article content and included in $random function
