<p>Updating to match new version of source page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;languages /&gt;<br /> {{PD Help Page}}<br /> {{Special page}}<br /> [[Image:Vector Sidebar.png|framed|{{dir|{{pagelang}}|left|right}}|The default sidebar on the left, see the fifth link from top]]<br /> The &#039;&#039;&#039;random page&#039;&#039;&#039; 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 [[Special:Random]] page. Users will be redirected to the selection.<br /> <br /> [[Special:Randompage]] is an alias for the feature and works in the same manner.<br /> <br /> ==Namespace selection==<br /> 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. [[Special:Random/Help]] will select a random page in the Help namespace; [[Special:Random/Category]] will show the contents of a random category, etc.<br /> Starting with MediaWiki 1.41 you can separate multiple namespaces with a comma, e.g., [[Special:Random/Help,Project]] will show the contents of a random page either in the Help or Project namespace.<br /> <br /> ==Settings==<br /> * {{ll|Manual:$wgContentNamespaces}} – this will set what namespaces should be counted as article content and included in [[Special:Random]] function<br /> <br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * {{ll|Help:RandomInCategory}}<br /> * {{ll|Manual:Random page}}<br /> * {{ll|API:Random}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Help{{#translation:}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]</div>
