The extension does not support namespace selection like the core code does.

which means that [[special:random/portal]] often takes the reader to pages
like:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:British_Armed_Forces/Header
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Silesia/Intro

Also, the extension logic excludes page names with a slash:

>   AND page_title NOT LIKE '%/%' 

which excludes pages like this:

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/9/11_Commission_Report

Fixing these problems in core would be nice however special:random is really
broken on Wikisource and Wikibooks, and this extension is a much needed
band-aid.
