Thumbnail (or whatever): Can't be done with DPL, as it automatically inserts a colon before the file name. (Don't you love smart software that thinks it knows what you want?) To produce a random thumbnail, rather than a link, we must resort to using RandomImage.

Wiki markup	Result	Notes
<randomimage />	== Summary ==	It's usually not obvious, but this usage of the tag is supposed to grab the caption from the file description page. It doesn't understand about section headers, though--if the file contains '== Summary ==' or something to that effect as the first line (which it often does), it'll use that as the caption. Probably best not to leave the caption up to what the extension thinks it should be, since it's stupid about it.
<randomimage>Caption goes here</randomimage>	Caption goes here
<randomimage></randomimage>	File:UnNews Iran president urges West to follow his crazy God.MP3	Same as <randomimage />. You won't be getting out of the retarded automatic caption so easily. ;)
<randomimage> </randomimage>		Yep, that'll override the caption. Nice.
