- I have a technical question, I clicked on Special:Random and came across an "essay" (I forget the title). Isn't Special:Random only for mainspace articles? Or do "essays" not have their own namespace? (It started with Essay: so it looked like it had its own namespace). ChristopherW (talk) 15:00, 21 March 2017 (EDT)
- I have the answer to my question, "essays" do not have their own namespace. It seems silly to have asked it when answering the question myself was so easy. ChristopherW (talk) 15:02, 21 March 2017 (EDT)
- No problem, please do feel free to ask, even if the question does seem "silly"!
As I understand it, articles are created with various namespace titles, but Special:Random picks from any namespace, so there is little effect. However, namespaces are still used in maintenance, statistics, and so on. My bot also uses namespaces so some extent. I don't know if Special:Random was configured intentionally to load pages from any namespace, or if there is a glitch in the system somewhere. --David B (TALK) 16:00, 21 March 2017 (EDT)
