I made this page that shows random pages from Wikipedia. You may know Wikipedia has a random article link already, which I've always liked. But my version has two advantages:
- It shows quick summaries of articles and an image for each article so you can quickly skim through them.
- It allows you to set a popularity filter. This uses the number of inbound links to that page as a proxy for how popular it is, so you can filter out huge pool of random-town-in-Wales articles.
The second point is the real reason I made it. The actual random article link just gives so much uninteresting stubs. I feel like using number of inbound links works well for only seeing somewhat meaningful articles.
