Uncached

Uncached random text changes on every page refresh. All server-side uncached <choose> tags have been replaced with with the client-side script shown below.

mw.hook('wikipage.content').add(function ($content) {
	$content.find('.choose-uncached').each(function () {
		var $container = $(this);
		var $options = $container.find('.choose-option');
		if ($options.length === 0) return;
		var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * $options.length);
		$options.eq(index).show();
	});
});

<span class="choose-uncached" style="display:inline-block;height: 14px;"><span class="choose-option">text 1</span><span class="choose-option">text 2</span></span>
