Help talk:Random page

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

On a small installation of MediaWiki the Random link picks some pages much more often than other pages...any way that this can be fixed? --Alxndr 10:12, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Including different namespaces?[edit]

In there any way to make the random page link show pages other than ones in the main namespace? I want it to include User:* pages as well. --81.99.252.154 09:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From Help:Special_page:
Random page
Special:Randompage : redirects to a random page from the main namespace which is not a redirect. Other namespaces can be specified as a parameter, eg: Special:Randompage/Talk.

Broken link?[edit]

The version of this page at wikipedia has a broken link (twice): [1]. I can't tell if that's a template problem or whether the problem originates with the code here, so I'm posting a note here. 68.48.230.9 16:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
