You can use a custom pagelist template that redirects to the random
page:
(:pagelist fmt=#redirect count=1 order=random list=normal:)
[@
[[#redirect]]
(:redirect {=$FullName} quiet=1:)
[[#redirectend]]
@]
See $EnableRedirectQuiet if you want to remove the link "Redirected from
Main.RandomPage".
Alternatively, you can place a pagelist with random links in the
sidebar:
%sidehead% Random pages
(:pagelist fmt=#title list=normal order=random count=3:)
