  Hi everyone,

 I try to learn dynamic of random searches (Special:Random) on English
 Wikipedia.

 From 01/2012 to 10/2014 average number of random searches per month was
 about 86 millions or about 30% of Main_Page pageviews, but from November
 2014 it drop to 31,000 per month (or 0.008% of Main_page).

 How to explain such a dramatic drop? Any ideas?
