The ExcludeRandom extension allows pages to be excluded from Special:Random. For example, this could be useful for hiding in-complete translation pages that have been yet to be moved to their own sub-domain.
Installation[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
ExcludeRandomin yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'ExcludeRandom' );
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
To users running MediaWiki 1.24 or earlier:
The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension().
If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.24 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'ExcludeRandom' );, you need to use:
require_once "$IP/extensions/ExcludeRandom/ExcludeRandom.php";
Configuration[edit]
- $wgExcludeRandomPages
- The list of pages to be excluded, in an array.
*wildcard is supported (matches any amount of any characters).
Usage[edit]
$wgExcludeRandomPages = [ 'Main Page', '*/fr' ];
This will disallow Main Page and anything/fr from being selected by Special:Random.
