Wikipedia:Enhanced Random Article

Enhanced Random Article (source) is a script that adds a link above the "Random Article" link called "Enhanced Random Article". This script provides similar functionality to the built-in "Random Article" link, but there are three extra options, documented below.

Installation

To install this script, go to your custom JavaScript file, and add the following script to the bottom of it:

importScript('User:Gary/enhanced random article.js'); // [[User:Gary/enhanced random article.js]]

Settings

Default settings

enhancedRandomArticle = {
	patterns: [],
	showDisambiguationPages: false,
	showStubs: false
};

Custom settings

To change the default settings, copy the code above to your custom JavaScript file and change the values after the colons. The settings are explained in greater detail below. After changing the settings, bypass your browser's cache or wait a while to see your changes take effect.

patterns

The pattern that an article's title must match. It is case-sensitive. If more than one pattern is provided, then an article only needs to match one of the patterns.

Options: This can be a string, such as 'List' which would match article titles that contain "List"; or an array, such as ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'] which would require that an article's title contain a vowel.

showDisambiguationPages

Set whether or not disambiguation pages are allowed to be shown.

Options: Can be either true (to allow disambiguation pages) or false (to disallow disambiguation pages).

showStubs

Set whether or not stubs are allowed to be shown.

Options: Can be either true (to allow stubs) or false (to disallow stubs).
