Random page not seeming very random

The random page button seems very biased. Let's just say that in about 10 "random pages" 3 things were repeats. I got Death Knights 3 times, shamans twice, and I think Swords twice. it might have been more like 15 pages, but still that's way too repetitive. This is just my observation though, and maybe there' isn't anything wrong and I'm just unlucky. Any thoughts?

I just did 25 Random Page clicks (thanks for prompting a site achievement, btw) and had zero repeats. I guess you're just (un)lucky.

I noticed it too.. I think it first chooses a random page, then a random id. If this was the case entries in page with few IDs (such as class and race) would be more likely to be chosen.

Thanks, Koper, that would most certainly do it. I suppose there wouldn't really be much of a way to make it more random without making just pick from a list of all of the possible pages, which I assume could be more problematic than having categories.

I'll see what we can do.

This is now fixed.

Now, I must say, it's very random indeed. Good job!
