I wish there were a function in Wikiloops, in the menu, "Random Track" which would chose one template out of all 270.000+ templates *randomly*. I would press this button once, and land on a song, totally undetermined, only determined by random number from 1 to 270.000
This would be so fantastic! Wikipedia has this feature also and I love it!

Thanks hartmut for giving me the hint that there was already this post from you. Pretty good! I was already thinking about the 'technical implications' for such a random button.
It sounds weird, but it is at least a bit challenging to make a feature like this without draining the performance of the database. You know, doing something 'random' is not a typical job for a database. Especially when it comes to more than 200000 tracks. And its not possible to just pick a random track number because there are a some tracks that have been blocked by moderators or are not available anymore. But in theory, it should be doable ;)
I will try to talk to Dick very soon about such a feature.
