Special:Random does not work

[fts-tmassey]

I'm using Wikit with things like no-more-secrets and lolcat to create random walls of text in new and unusual ways. I was using a selection of Wikipedia articles I'd typed in, but got the idea of using Wikipedia's Special:Random feature to try to get random pages. (Details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Special:Random)

Unfortunately, I get an error:

# wikit Special:random
⠙ Searching...wtf_wikipedia error: TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
Special:random not found :^(

This isn't exactly a vital thing, but I thought I'd post an issue to see if it interests anyone.

Either way, thank you for your interesting tool!

Thanks for reporting, I will look into this when time permits. May wind up adding a --random flag.

Any news on this?

This has not been implemented yet. PRs welcome!

I am sorry, I thought this issue was closed but it was just the linked issue that has been closed

for anyone interested: I am currently just using curl to get the redirect URL of the Random_Article page and use that for getting random articles. It's a very dirty solution but it's working^^

I get that this is a solution that is not the best, but it seems this repo is not maintained, you think you can make a PR? thank you!
