A while back, we needed a similar functionality (a random number generated on the wiki upon page save that would be permanently available afterwards) in fawiki, to use it as a last-resort tie breaker for a certain election. We ended up using the page_random field (it is a random number between 0 and 1, which can be easily converted to an integer between 1-6 or whatever other range desired).
The point is, I would support (re)creating an extension like this, and hopefully enabling it on WMF wikis as well. PS: I tried to fetch the source of that project via Archive.org but was not successful.[1] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20160303193209/https://www.uberbox.org/gitweb/?p=Dice.git;a=summary On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 10:02 PM, Greg Rundlett (freephile) < [email protected]> wrote: > I assume you'll hear back from Dan Shiovitz, admin for inky.org.
