Description Mohamed Magdy 2009-01-18 18:48:17 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to get a random page beyond "Random from articles" and be able to make such urls (may be special:random&cat=category name). Like getting a random page from a Category or a random page from a Namespace.

Thanks

Random from namespace already exists. "Special:Random/File" will return a random page from the File: namespace, same for /Category, /Template_talk, or any other namespace you'd like.

From a category isn't implemented, though.

But an extension exists: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomInCategory

[[Special:Random/talk]] e.g. works, rest is a duplicate of bug 2170.
