Using clientside javascript this request doesn't work any more. $.get(mw.config.get("wgServer")+mw.config.get("wgScript") +"?title="+mw.util.wikiUrlencode("Special:RandomInCategory") +"&action=raw&maxage=0&category="+mw.util.wikiUrlencode(somevalue), handleResponse); which for example should get the raw text of a random page in the category "somevalue" from URL: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RandomInCategory&action=raw&maxage=0&category=Africa Using https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RandomInCategory/Africa&action=raw&maxage=0 instead also doesn't work. This might be a side effect of Bug 67581. It seems, that it is now not possible, to get a random page of a category in raw mode.

Yeah that patch probably did it. I don't think it's worth supporting action=raw for this, and would much rather fix bug 61840 to allow for this in a sane manner.
