Many languages of Wikisource don't use the standard random because he generally redirect to a page of the namespace "page" of "book" who aren't adapted to the reading but to the edition. They often use Special:Random/NS:0 in order to only have pages for reading. Thanks for change the direction of the button random.

fr use NS:O, others use NS:0 and two other links for Book: and Author: namespaces (en, de, it, la, es...)
I think it may be a good idea to set it for all Wikisource but only in fr will be a good start.
Thanks !

Great, thanks!
Random seems to be working on the French version of Wikisource even though it is not namespaced - has this been fixed elsewhere?
The latest dev version is retrieving the random url from SpecialPage::getTitleFor - if this is not working and this is still a problem this suggests the problem is outside the MobileFrontend extension...?
So looking more closely at this it seems that the random link on fr.wikisource.org is defined in MediaWiki:Sidebar [1]. The mediawiki side bar has no meaning in the mobile site.
So reading between the lines I think what you are asking for is the ability to customise the random button on the mobile site so that it can be namespaced [2].
I'm marking this as an enhancement so we can decide if this is worth doing and how to do it.

Well at least Mediawiki:Sidebar could be consulted when dynamically constructing
the menu. It's better than nothing. I mean the content of a desktop site is 'consulted' when outputting the mobile site, so unless overridden, the Mediawiki:Sidebar is a great source of information for at least hints of what to put into the mobile menu.
