Parameter history

• v1.26: Previous limit of 10/20 on rnlimit was increased to standard 500/5000 limits.
• v1.26: Deprecated rnredirect
• v1.26: Introduced rnfilterredir
• v1.14: Introduced rnredirect

Additional notes

• Unlike most modules in the Action API , the default number of pages returned is 1, not 10.
• Pages are returned in a fixed sequence; only the starting point is actually random.
• The default behavior is to pick pages from across the entire wiki, including talk pages, user pages, and so on. If you are looking for similar functionality as Special:Random, i.e. pick random articles, restrict rnnamespace to 0.
• If the number of pages is fewer than rnlimit, the request will simply return all available pages. It will not repeat pages to pad out the response up to the limit.
