Yes the problem is nginx. The problem has been solved by doing FPM Apache.

Hi. my web site is mobile;

working : https://testing.com/Special:Random

not working : https://testing.com/Özel:Rastgele (Özel:Rastgele (Turkish language) = Special:Random)

404 error occurs when not running.

But there is no problem on the normal site.

working : https://testing.com/Özel:Rastgele

Can I make this url in English for the mobile site? This url in system messages english. MediaWiki:DirtyPages is useful? (There is no clear information on how to use it.) Turkish Wikipedia works the same. Could it be that nginx is causing this?

Thank you.

Correction: While the Special:Random link certainly avoids known alternate namespaces like Talk and Template, it has no problem pulling up pages from custom namespaces (like "Property"). To avoid this I use Special:Random/Main. The article currently suggests that it does that already. I have MediaWiki 1.27

I have the same issues in MW 1.27, and setting $wgContentNamespaces does not change the behavior of Special:Random. These docs are wrong. -71.36.99.196 01:56, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Can someone explain precisely the process this feature follows? ~~~~

P.S. I see you've got Flow. Oh, joy!
