Haw can i post random article on main page?
More detailed request ;)
I'm running a project of building a aviation enciclopedia, for now just about my contry's aviation. I managed to instal MW 1.6 (limited by hosting provider's php version) and create several categories and articles. I'm interesed to create a main page with some preview of 2 - 3 articles.. it may be random articles. I will prefer, after a while, when there will be enought content to be able to select them automaticaly by, lets say: in this day 10 years ago or something similar.
So, where can i find some documentation, examples about this?

It doesn't? Maybe try this instead : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomText
I've run this on our own wiki for a long time, so it ought to work. It is used here to select and display quotes at random on the front page : http://crewscut.com
Best wishes, Morten :-)
