Random article button

I think the EG should have a button that send you to a random EG article. This would be a fun way to discover new things and article in OA. It also doesn't strikes me as something very hard to implement.

Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random ?

Or like
https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Special:RandomInCategory
https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Special:RandomRootpage ?

They work differently. Random and RandomRootPage sends you directly to the destination page, meanwhile "RandomInCategory" asks you to write the title of a wiki category and the script chooses an article included in that category.

Random can choose from every "content page" and RandomRootPage exclude Subpages, the ones that are nested with a / character.

You can choose in which wiki namespace you want the random script to choose from.
This: https://tuscriaturas.miraheze.org/wiki/E...toria/Main  is choosing only from "Main" namespace because is written on the url /Especial:Aleatoria/Main

There could also be a page which lists every single article in alphabetical order.

That tool does exist- it’s next to the search bar on the top right , in the EG ,with an alphabetical drop down menu that lists every article under a given letter.
