26 * Special page to direct the user to a random page
28 * @note The method used here is rather biased. It is assumed that
29 * the use of this page will be people wanting to get a random page
30 * out of a maintenance category, to fix it up. The method used by
31 * this page should return different pages in an unpredictable fashion
32 * which is hoped to be sufficient, even if some pages are selected
33 * more often than others.
35 * A more unbiased method could be achieved by adding a cl_random field
36 * to the categorylinks table.
38 * The method used here is as follows:
39 * * Find the smallest and largest timestamp in the category
40 * * Pick a random timestamp in between
41 * * Pick an offset between 0 and 30
42 * * Get the offset'ed page that is newer than the timestamp selected
43 * The offset is meant to counter the fact the timestamps aren't usually
44 * uniformly distributed, so if things are very non-uniform at least we
45 * won't have the same page selected 99% of the time.
