    Wikipedia:Random

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    This is an information page. Shortcut


    It describes the editing community's established practice on some
    aspect or aspects of Wikipedia's norms and customs. It is not one of
    Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly  WP:RAN
    vetted by the community.
    In Wikipedia and other MediaWiki projects, Special:Random can be used to access a random
    article in the main namespace; this feature is useful as a tool to generate a random article.
    Depending on your browser, it's also possible to load a random page using a keyboard shortcut (in
    Firefox, Edge, and Chrome Alt-Shift+X ).

    To create a link to a random page in a different namespace, use


    [[Special:Random/Namespace]]. For example, Special:Random/Talk will take you to a
    random article's talk page.
    Display a random page in other namespaces:

    Article Talk User Talk Wikipedia Talk File Talk MediaWiki Talk Template Talk Help Talk
    Category Talk Portal Talk Book Talk Draft Talk Education Program Talk TimedText Talk
    Module Talk

    Display a random redirect in other namespaces:

    Main Talk User Talk Wikipedia Talk File Talk MediaWiki Talk Template Talk Help Talk
    Category Talk Portal Talk Book Talk Draft Talk Education Program Talk TimedText Talk
    Module Talk
