Random is a very popular feature, let's add it to the More menu.
api.php?action=query&list=random&rnnamespace=0
Or just go to Special:Random ;) Was done on the Hackathon by lots of people. we need to figure out *where* to put it - not on the 'More' menu item.
Initial implementation should probably go into https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37722
(In reply to comment #0) > Random is a very popular feature, let's add it to the More menu. +1 for the suggestion. Wanted to file a similar suggestion, but the present idea is good enough. Dear mobile-coders, please implement such a feature.
Here's a pull request I threw together for Android: https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile/pull/313 There's not really room on the current iPhone menu though so I didn't add to that yet -- still want to add that to close this out probably.
We'll see about tossing this in in the new app... de-assigning old bug.
Resolving as wont fix for the old app. You can track progress on a similar feature on trello for the new app https://trello.com/c/85TM1ocu/57-1-as-a-wikilost-user-i-want-to-go-to-a-random-article-so-i-can-explore-without-hassle
