Description Alex Klotz 2006-07-25 02:28:46 UTC When pressing the Random Article button on Wikipedia, I have several times been redirected to pages that have been deleted. In addition to being an annoyance, it makes Wikipedia itself look disorganized. Comment 1 Duncan Harris 2006-09-19 14:42:26 UTC Are you talking about articles that show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Deletedpage ? Comment 2 Alex Klotz 2006-09-19 17:41:08 UTC Yes Comment 3 Rotem Liss 2006-09-19 17:42:35 UTC The pages are not deleted – they are exist, but include only template which says that they are deleted. The software can know nothing about it.
