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.
If you are wondering if the "random article" feature is really random, read the answer
here.
