Notes
- In order to avoid syntax errors, put in the c value!
- This template is able to defeat the page cache using the random selection feature (the choose tags).
- The source of randomness is based on the number of articles, pages, files, registered users and admins, and the time (to the second).
- This is suitable for use in parser functions
- eg: 6 + 6 = 12
