Description

Reported a while back that Special:Random isn't Random-ing. It'll stay on the same item for a while.

The current suspect is the query cache - we've seen far better results on bark than bellow though, perhaps due to better availability or lower cache?

When time allows, will try forcing SQL_NO_CACHE in the query to validate and work on a permanent fix - which may be removal of query cache.
