there's already an extension (developped by rob I think) which does this
it's called AdvancedRandom

It would be really nice if wikipedias Special:random-function could take
arguments, making it possible to get a random article from user-specified
categories.
A suggestion to do this is as follows. When a user click on the "random
article" link the random article is loaded with a comment on the top of
the
page saying something like "you requested a random article. click here to
view options" and so the the user can mark which categories the article
should come from. The settings can either be stored in a cookie or they
can
be sent in the URI.
Everyone would love this feature!

Manne Tallmarken
