:<s>Investigation using [[Special:Random]] appears to suggest that no such namespace exists. [[Special:Random/User]] takes you to a random talk page, [[Special:Random/Talk]] to a random talk page but [[Specail:Random/NamespaceThatDoesntExist]] goes to a mainspace article as does [[Special:Random/Essay]] but if you've made a bot that makes use of namespaces (as most bots would probably have to) you probably know more about the subject than me.

:My mistake! Essays do appear to have their own namespace but there appears to be a technical problem in that [[Special:Random/Essay]] goes to a random mainspace article not an essay. [[User:ChristopherW|ChristopherW]] ([[User talk:ChristopherW|talk]]) 12:44, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

::Ah yes, I see what you mean. Perhaps the Essay namespace just isn't configured properly. You could talk to [[User:Aschlafly]] about the issue--maybe it could be easily resolved, I don't know. I have not done much with admin configuration of wikis. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 13:07, 22 March 2017 (EDT)
