[[Image:M-en-sidebar.png|framed|right|The default sidebar on the left, see the fifth link from top]]&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;random page&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Special:Randompage]] is an alias for the feature and works in the same manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Namespace selection ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Settings==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[$wgContentNamespaces]] - this will set what namespaces should be counted as article content and included in [[Special:Random]] function&lt;br /&gt;
* [[$wgExtraRandompageSQL]] - this settings allows for filtering of content from the [[Special:Random]] function&lt;br /&gt;
