Description Max 2011-09-02 12:07:54 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
* surf to http://en.m.wikipedia.org
* repeatedly hit the random button

or

* repeatedly surf to: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

Expected output:
I expect to see another Wikipedia article each time

Instead I get:
I just see a selection of the same 1-3 Articles

Can't reproduce, works fine for me on my mobile
Comment 2 Max 2011-09-06 20:26:04 UTC 
neither works on my mobile (android 2.3.4) nor on my laptop.

friend of mine confirmed the bug. we even got to see the exact same articles (on different machines in different networks).

it's not that you ALWAYS see the same article when you hit random again, but a selection of a few. when you wait for some time, different articles are shown, but those are repeated as well. It definitely is not random. just hit "random" a few times or enter http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random and I think you'll notice because until now everybody else could confirm this bug.

btw: "normal" wikipedia handles random pages as I would expect!
