    I like this idea, both for the purposes of sparking inspiration and reminding you to finish stuff, but also, for posting something new on your main world page for readers to discover every time you visit. :)

    I can see the potential to expand this feature in a few ways:* edit random: As corasnowbooks stated, the ability to get a random WIP/draft to work on could be nice as a way to spark inspiration.* view random challenge article: A way to go through a few challenge articles without involving a bias when choosing articles by removing the choice. Likely to give smaller creators a boost.* Filters/BBCode: As Ademal stated, being able to filter/use BBCode would make this feature a lot more useful in not overwhelming visitors.

    Would be nice to have this link to a specific article type, so we can look at a random item or plot article. This would also be helpful to see how other people are using the templates in their worlds.

    This, but with the ability to select random within tag, so that we can bbcode in a button like [randomarticle:special-weapon] and it'll take us to a random article with that tag.
