Wikademia — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:27:51 GMT

$wgExtraRandompageSQL and $wgContentNamespaces

New page

{{PD Help Page}}
[[Image:M-en-sidebar.png|framed|right|The default sidebar on the left, see the fifth link from top]]
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 [[Special:Random]] page. Users will be redirected to the selection.

[[Special:Randompage]] 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. [[Special:Random/Help]] will select a random page in the Help namespace; [[Special:Random/Category]] will show the contents of a random category, etc.

==Settings==
* [[$wgContentNamespaces]] - this will set what namespaces should be counted as article content and included in [[Special:Random]] function
* [[$wgExtraRandompageSQL]] - this settings allows for filtering of content from the [[Special:Random]] function
