The ExcludeRandom extension allows pages to be excluded from Special:Random. For example, this could be useful for hiding in-complete translation pages that have been yet to be moved to their own sub-domain.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called ExcludeRandom in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ExcludeRandom' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

$wgExcludeRandomPages

The list of pages to be excluded, in an array. * wildcard is supported (matches any amount of any characters).

Usage

$wgExcludeRandomPages = [ 'Main Page', '*/fr' ];

This will disallow Main Page and anything/fr from being selected by Special:Random.
