The random page feature allows users to view a wiki page at random. The default, and most convenient use is to show a random page in the main namespace, and is accessed through the Special:Random page. Users will be redirected to the selection.
Special:Randompage is an alias for the feature and works in the same manner.
[edit] Namespace selection
Users can also opt to view a random page in a namespace of their choice. This is achieved by specifying a namespace as a parameter to the page, i.e. Special:Random/Help will select a random page in the Help namespace; Special:Random/Category will show the contents of a random category, etc.
A link to random page is shown in the sidebar of every Wikia. Clicking this link will take you to a random page in the wiki's content namespaces.
On most wikis the content namespaces include only the main namespace. However, some wikis have custom namespaces - if marked as content namespaces, they will also show in results.
Not all pages are included (such as redirects) and the results are not strictly random.
Checking specific namespaces
You can choose to view random pages in specific namespaces. There are normally no links to these on the wiki so you will need to link to them manually if you want to use them. For example, by copying the section below:
If you have Custom namespaces on your Wikia, you can also view random pages in those namespaces via the same method.
If there are no pages in a namespace, the random page will take you to the main page of the wiki instead.
Note: often "project" is a redirect to the project namespace ("Wikia Help" on this wiki).
