How random is Special:Random?
I'm not sure Special:Random gives a representative sample.

One day I clicked it a lot and it had a huge percentage of Association football-related articles. Another day I clicked a lot and there were many fewer such articles. It would be nice to know just how random "random" really is. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Man, talking about statics, what is the chances of getting an edit conflict on a red linked talk page? I just did. LOL Ikip (talk) 03:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Interesting
Hey there Knulclunk. Just wanted to let you know that I found this experiment interesting and I've decided to add it to the Random Pages Test category so it can recieve wider exposure. I hope you don't mind. -- &oelig; &trade; 22:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I've noticed a pattern too with my use of the random article feature. I keep getting articles about villages in Poland and Iran (occasionally Canada and Romania). – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 03:43, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
