Who can edit the wiki?(http://www.staredit.net/starcraft/Main_Page)
I've been editing pages there recently and the Random Page link isn't as random as I thought......



None.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

Anyone can edit the wiki. Definition of Wiki:

A Web site developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.

The random page seems fine to me.

If you constantly click the random page link, it keeps coming up with the same pages



None.

If you understand probability with replacement, you'd know that the chances of seeing every page before they repeat is extremely low.

Let's say there are 50 wiki pages. The probability of pulling up a specific page or a specific order of pages every time is 1/50n where n is the number of times you click "Random." It is possible to click "Random" and get the same page an infinite number of times; it is just unlikely.

Roy I kind of know that but like I very rarely get see a page like the Protoss Nexus. I'm not really saying like I'm seeing a page again after I click the random page link. As I said before, a group of pages as if the random page link were limited to for an example Terran Vulture and Terran Spider Mines page and that's all.

Unless there is a glitch with the random number generator, that is unlikely to happen. It was not coded to return the same pages over and over, just a random one.

The random page functions as a redirect. If his browser caches that redirect, then he'd just see the same page over and over again.

As it stands right now, the wiki is small enough that the list of all its articles can be shown on a single page. Click that link, OP, and pick something to edit. Note that redirects are shown in that list as well.
