I'm just curious as to how the Special:Random function works or if anything governs it.

I use it mostly to choose articles to tweet, or when I want to check various articles for a random sample to see what needs editing.

It seems to sometimes throw out similar pages, which may just be me seeing patters where none exist. But true randomness is also fairly hard to actually achieve.
