Examples/Parameter: randomseed (example 1)

From DynamicPageList3 Manual
Please do not edit this page unless you're wanting to edit the manual itself, it is an example included in the manual.

Example[edit]

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.
