Template:RandomSelector
This template returns a "random" item from the set specified in as parameters.
The "random" number is based on the date/time in seconds + an offset. The default update by seconds means that the selected options are updated every page refresh - you can change the seed to a different time using the "seed" parameter. The offset allows you to use the random selector at multiple points in the page and get different results (just add a new number for each instance)
Internal use only.
This template is used by Template:RandomWikiHomeCategory.
Usage
{{RandomSelector|offset=a number|item1|...|itemN}}
The parameters are:
- offset: (optional) Offset to current seed. Allows a different "random" selection if selector used more than once on a page. Usually just update number by one for every instance of the template on the page
- seed: (optional) completely changes the seed. By default the seed is the time (in seconds) which implies an update every time page is refreshed.
- Un named parameters: up to 12 parameters
