Extension talk:ExcludeRandom


Patch for MW 1.22?

Did anyone already find a way to get this thing working on MW 1.22? Before I start looking into it myself... rotsee (talk) 16:40, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I can't see any changes to Special:RandomPage that would cause it to break, so I have no idea. ultradude25 (talk) 08:13, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I'll have to investigate that a bit then. Maybe there is some other extension at my wiki that that is interfering. rotsee (talk) 14:25, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
This should work again, now. –ultradude25 (talk) 13:31, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Could this extension exclude some categories?

Could this extension exclude some categories or only lead to some categories? WAN233 (talk) 00:16, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

To exclude categories from showing in Special:Random, you just add the category names to the variable, or a prefix that is shared with categories you don't want to show.
The extension only has the functionality to blacklist not whitelist, so you can't only whitelist some categories, you would have to blacklist everything else, which is unlikely to be practical. Majr25 (talk) 07:37, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Does this work in 1.34+

Some wikifarm admins refused to install this because "it is old", however, I have no idea if it would actually still work. Has anything been broken? 186.141.133.99 (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
