Since on a 3,800 page wiki, I stumble across the same page sometimes multiple times a day, while others I haven't seen in years. I'm no Random Page expert, but I'm pretty sure it's random.

Let's say you have 3,800 pages and you use the Random Page special 3,800 times. That should give you 14,440,000 different possibilities, and the chance of getting every page once is slightly less than 0.000007%. If you get some pages more than others, it's probably just probability in action.
