Examples/Parameter: randomseed (example 1)

Please do not edit this page unless you're wanting to edit the manual itself, it is an example included in the manual.

Example

This will list pages from Category:Fruit examples, a random count of 3, with the random seed set to a new value every day. Using this on your homepage, you could present a stable set of random articles for one day and switch to another set every day.

This example requires the ParserFunctions extension, and it also requires $wgPFEnableStringFunctions to be set to "true" (enabled) in order to function correctly; on Miraheze, ParserFunctions is already installed and the latter setting can be found and enabled in ManageWiki.
