Help:Random page
From Wikia Help
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:
- Special:Randompage will take you to a page in any of the namespaces marked as content (generally only the main namespace).
- Special:Randompage/Talk will take you to a page in the Talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/User will take you to a page in the User namespace.
- Special:Randompage/User talk will take you to a page in the User talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Wikia Help will take you to a page in the Wikia Help namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Wikia Help talk will take you to a page in the Wikia Help talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/File will take you to a page in the File namespace.
- Special:Randompage/File talk will take you to a page in the File talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/MediaWiki will take you to a page in the MediaWiki namespace.
- Special:Randompage/MediaWiki talk will take you to a page in the MediaWiki talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Template will take you to a page in the Template namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Template talk will take you to a page in the Template talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Help will take you to a page in the Help namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Help talk will take you to a page in the Help talk namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Category will take you to a page in the Category namespace.
- Special:Randompage/Category talk will take you to a page in the Category namespace.
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).
