If you are new to Wikipedia and just want to explore, or if you don't know where you want to go, the Simple English Wikipedia has a random page feature that takes you to any one of the pages on this wiki. In most cases, you would want to see any article. This is easily done: just type "Special:Random" in the box at the top of the page where you normally type an article name. You will be taken directly to a random article page without having to do anything else.

Sometimes, you may want to go to a random talk page, user page, or MediaWiki page. Wikipedia lets you do this, too. Just add the type of page you want to see after Special:Random, with a slash in between. For example, Special:Random/Help will take you to a random page in the Help namespace; Special:Random/Category will show the contents of a random category, and so on.
