Forum:When and where is Randomincategory supported?

I've noticed Special:Randomincategory/category appears to work in some Wikia wikis and not others. It appears to show up in Other special pages section at the bottom of Special:SpecialPages, but why it sometimes shows up and sometimes not, is not clear. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 7:54 PM PST 22 Feb 2010


 * AFAIK it's an extension that needs to be turned on. 20:27, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's the MySQL version. The wiki where the problem originated is: 5.0.50sp1a-enterprise-gpl-log, and others where it works is 5.0.67-r17944f. Not sure if that's it but it's the only difference.--http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/theoffice/images/c/c6/User_My_Name_Is_Tom_YingYangsm.pngMy Name Is Tom (Talk / Edits) 21:39, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Its an extension available in the MediaWiki svn, and also ours , but its not enabled by default at Wikia. --Uberfuzzy 15:57, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there a particular reason it isn't turned on by default? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 6:22 AM PST 3 Mar 2010
 * No, not really. We didnt even know we had it. I "found" it one day going through the random extensions we have in our SVN from the MediaWiki svn, and played around with it, and some people liked it, so we turn it on as they ask for it. I'll file the paperwork and write up a short helppage and get it turned on globally soon. --Uberfuzzy 00:03, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
