Sometimes it's fun to just keep clicking random. Especially on a mobile device as a way to kill time + maybe learn something new and interesting! :) It's no fun to keep having to re-expand the menu each time after clicking random.
This potentially could be related to bug 31011. Another solution would be to use cookies / pass query string parameters from the random button
Created attachment 10349 [details] Open menu when random button processed I thought I had a simple fix for this - simply appending a hash to the random link and picking it up on a page load as a flag to reveal the menu. Alas sometimes during the random redirect process the hash can be lost. I can append a query string that is not lost but this seems wrong. Is there anyway we can retain the hash during a redirect to a random page?
I've created a mingle story so this gets more attention - https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/mobile/cards/127
Another way of thinking about this - http://jonrobson.me.uk/wikipedia/explorer
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/30121/ takes care of this in beta Would appreciate feedback
