Wikipedia: jump to a random link with r

The r key on Wikipedia jumps to a random article linked within the current text.

Code to copy

document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  if (e.target.matches('input, textarea, [contenteditable]')) { return; }
  if (e.key !== 'r') { return; }
  var links = document.querySelectorAll('#mw-content-text p a[href^="/wiki/"]');
  if (links.length) {
    var pick = links[Math.floor(Math.random() * links.length)];
    location.href = pick.href;
  }
});

2. Install JustZix (2 minutes) and open the extension on the target page.
3. Add a new rule matching that page.
4. Paste the code into the rule's JavaScript panel and save — it runs on every page visit.
