'Meow' is Category based - it picks an article with the following process:

1. Pick a non-hidden category of the current page at random
2. Pick an article in that category at random
3. Go to that picked article

'Linky' is simpler:

1. Pick a random outgoing wikilink of the current page
2. Go to that picked wikilink

'Closer' is slighlty more complex, and works only when you have used
'Linky' at least once:

1. Make an intersection of all links that were present both in *this*
article and the previous article
2. Pick a link out of the intersection at random
3. Go to that link.

Which one do you think gives you the best 'related to the current article,
but slightly random' results?
