This has probably been suggested before, but just in case: the "random page" function (as we all know) produces gadzillions of entries on two-horse towns in the USA. Surfing for a random page, as a result, is slow and frustrating, practically unusable if you are on dialup. But it must involve a bit of server load too, dishing up all those pages which most people are not interested in and causing them to hit another random page, and another, and another. (Or give up and go elsewhere, of course.)
I guess that it would be a non-trivial task to fix the page-selection process to leave the little towns out, but (as a temporary hack), perhaps the random page function could ignore all entries that have a comma in the title. That would come somewhere within cooee of the desired result and might be easy to implement. Obviously, it would need to be a user-selectable option rather than a compulsory-for-all-users one.
