Suggestion for: Read Random Wiki Article
Does anyone else often find that the random wikipedia articles tend to be a bit on the boring side? Once in a blue moon they are great, but most of the time it is a three sentence long blurb about some random war hero.
If you change it to this link (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/random/enwiki-featured.php) it will direct you to a random FEATURED wikipedia article, which I find to be much more interesting and useful.

On one hand, I rather like the randomness, as then one gets to learn about more unusual things. Maybe you could disable it and make your own, with a link to a random featured article?
On a related note, being able to add working links to our own exercise submissions would be nice.
I did disable it. This was just a suggestion for users.
The featured articles are random enough for me, but at least they are substantial. Last one was all about some crazy cricket match, which I found quite interesting!
