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 /> <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 /> <br /> ==Settings==<br /> * {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgContentNamespaces}} - this will set what namespaces should be counted as article content and included in [[Special:Random]] function<br /> * {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgExtraRandompageSQL}} - this settings allows for filtering of content from the [[Special:Random]] function<br /> <br /> {{languages}}<br /> [[Category:Help|{{PAGENAME}}]]<br /> [[Category:Random page|{{PAGENAME}}]]</div>
