Actually, there is a solution maybe even easier than my first
suggestion... You could also skip the redirect and try:

(:pagelist group=PmWiki order=random count=1 fmt=#randomPage list=normal:)

(:if false:)
[[#randomPage]]
[[{=$FullName}|Show random page]]
[[#randomPageend]]
(:ifend:)

This markup will display a link "Show random page". This link will lead
to a different page from the group "PmWiki" each time you reload the
page containing the link.

Kind regards,
