{{random}} generates a random number, at least to the extent that non-mathematicians will be happy with the term "random", through simple markup. The number can be from 1 to whatever number you choose, up to 1000.
Syntax is straightforward:
{{random|1000}} = 564
This number will change every time the page loads. If, however, you want to choose a random number that's "locked" in place by the act of hitting the publish button, then you have to substitute the template, like this:
<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>{{random|1000}} = 564
