You're in the game and the borderlands wiki was added.

On the topic of subwikis, I had to cull 3 of them due to them not having a random page button.

I've already gotten one player's sheet ready, only 9 more to go as of posting this.

TG Station wiki has the random page button under the wiki tab on the left (closed by default), so readd that.

Yeah, and the SCP foundation has the equivalent of such in the form of the random SCP button. In fact one of the reasons I suggested it was because it had that random page button because most wikis didn't have that to my knowledge.

It's right there under the site section of the sidebar below Recently Created Pages, I can even give you a link to it if that's what you need.

Presumably all wikis have one, it's just in a not very noticeable tab.

The SCP Wiki's random SCP button gave me the same SCP 5 times in a row, I'm not making this up.

It takes a few seconds before it will give you a different article, pretty sure it's because the site selects a random article on its own and then sends you there when the button is pressed but I can't say for sure.

I myself have used the button to select random SCPs for different things before and it worked just fine, I'm doing it right now in fact. It will take longer for you to read the SCP and figure out what it will do on the sheet than it will for the button to give you a different article. If the fact that it takes a bit of extra time to get a different article is too much then, well I suppose that's fine then.

In that case however, may I suggest a replacement(because I just really don't like the idea of having an odd number of wikis) The Hearthstone Wiki, this one definitely has a random page button, and one that works as normal in particular.

What about TG?
TG was added back in.

Somehow there's a lot of clutter articles which I can't pull good articles for this game from. I mean, it could be worse, as Wikipedia has a shit ton of articles which are too hard to work with for this game.

Don't you hate it when the Random Article button on Wikipedia gives a fuckton of articles you can't really make something out of? I'm not fucking joking, my search history is littered with wikipedia articles I don't care about.
