The RandomSelection MediaWiki extension is available on Wikigames.

It can be used to generate a random option from a given set. The basic syntax is <choose><option>Option 1</option><option>Option 2</option></choose>.

This example will display either the Test3 or Test4 image:

<choose><option>[[Image:Test3.png]]</option><option>[[Image:Test4.png]]</option></choose> Image:Test3.png

You can weight the options. This example with give a 3x weighting to option 1:

<choose><option weight="3">Option 1</option><option>Option 2</option></choose>.

Links, images, and templates can all be included as options.

See dice for an example of this extension in use.
