And thanks for the templates and variables help links. Got it ;) If there is any way to request a feature, I would like to request an opportunity to access an article by it's database ID or somethink like that - to make it possible to have template with random article.
Let me tell you what we do for this. We pass curid to index.php to bring the article with that id. You can take a look at the source of index.php. Close to top of the file, there's a section that checks if curid is being passed. When there's a curid, it doesn't look at the title variable, as far as I can remember.
So, http://host/w/index.php?title=x&curid=100 should bring the article with the database id 100.
This is for 1.3.9, don't know if it would work for 1.4. I might be wrong although it seems to work. There might be other things going on for earlier versions of an article.
