Usage
This template transcludes a numbered sub-page that is randomly selected between the "start"-numbered sub-page and the "end"-numbered sub-page as follows:

It may be used with or without parameters as follows:
 * 1|page: The name of the page to be displayed (without the subpage number). The default is empty.
 * 2|start: The starting sub-subpage number. Must be a positive integer. The default is 1.
 * 3|end: The ending sub-subpage number. Must be a positive integer. The default is 2.
 * 4|same: (optional) This parameter makes different template invocations link to the same subpage. It can be set with yes, y, true or 1. For it to work, the same parameter must be set on all desired templates on a page, and those templates must also use the same  and   values. The subpage chosen will change randomly if the page is edited or purged.

Note: this template used to accept a seed parameter, but this has been deprecated after the template was switched to use Module:Random.

Example
This template can be used to display a list of randomly selected items from a group of numbered subpages. For example, portals that use "Did you know..." sections can randomly display four items from a page named "Portal:Foo/Did you know" that has sixteen numbered subpages as follows:
