Wikipedia:Random

On Wikipedia and other sites running on MediaWiki, Special:Random can be used to access a random article in the main namespace; this feature is useful as a tool to view a random article.

This is an information page. It is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, rather, its purpose is to explain certain aspects of Wikipedia's norms or practices. It may reflect varying levels of consensus.

Shortcut WP:RANWP:RAN

Depending on your browser, it's also possible to load a random page using a keyboard shortcut (in Edge and Chrome Alt+X, in Firefox 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. Selecting a random page from two or more namespaces is also possible by separating the namespaces with commas. Special:Random/Wikipedia,Talk goes to either an article's talk page or a project page. This also works with the article namespace as in Special:Random/Wikipedia,.
