requesting enhancement in Template:Random_subpage
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

What I am looking for is a two levels of random selection,i.e. template which can select randomly a page which again is selected randomly from next group of random sub-pages.

I do not know if that is already possible , if possible how if not I would request this enhancement

The benefit will be to sysops and managers to provide better level of information and awareness level among wiki users.

Presently various wikis are having long lists of rules and help info which most of the editors wont have enough time to go through the details . Presently at mr wiki we are using साचा:अविशिष्ट_उपपान (Template:Random_subpage) feature to raise awareness on various relevant subjects but my list of subpages is going to long and as a sysop it is difficult to manage again being a small wiki community a single parson is doing the this work.

The second benefit of the enhancement would be we can focus different groups of users with different level of messages and info .

So the wiki software will become more sysop friendly

On Wikipedia we are using one template feature called Template:Random_subpage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Random_subpage on simimler lines at mr wiki we do a template called http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/साचा:अविशिष्ट_उपपान besides other usage of this template we are using this template currently for raising awareness level regarding various aspects of wiki among our wiki users.
