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!
