Is it possible to use, or add, a NOT function with this feature?
[edit]w:sv: has 2 links in their sidebar for random pages, the second ("-bot") links to a tool that excludes bot-generated articles from the results.
I was wondering if instead we could help solve this problem, by using (or extending) RandomInCategory to work with a NOT parameter?
e.g. Special:RandomInCategory/NOT(foobar) or something similar. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 21:03, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

[edit]It would be nice if I could have a link to this page for a specific category. For example:
RandomInCategory/History
That would just take me to a random page in the history category. As Quiddity also requested, it would be nice if we could also have a NOT descriptor, which would allow users to exempt entire sections. For example: Let's say I want to see random pages in the History category, but I don't want anything sports related. A URL link this would be nice to perform that function:
RandomInCategory/History/Not/Sports
Or something like that. Just a suggestion from a donor. 73.221.111.167 (talk) 03:08, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- Would be nice to be able to include this in the sidebar as well!

[edit]Hello,
I work on dictionaries of several volumes, sometimes with different categories.
I want to do a random search in several categories.
For example :
"Modèles de mise en page"AND"Modèles pour+dictionnaires"
Do you think this is possible? Sicarov (talk) 22:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
