  • $wgExcludeRandomPages

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.
