From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template creates a link to random page from a category.

Usage

[edit]
  • First parameter is the category from which to get a random page. If it is not specified, it defaults to current page, which works only on category pages.
  • Parameter |ns= is for specifying the namespace number. Separate multiple namespace numbers with ; or ! (e.g. |ns=2;118)
  • Parameter |type= specified the type of page to return (page, subcat, or file). |type=page, |type=subcat, and |type=file are equivalent to |ns=0, |ns=14, and |ns=6, respectively.
  • Parameter |action= specifies an action to perform on the page (e.g. |action=edit). See Parameters to index.php§Actions.
  • Parameter |text= is for specifying different link text.
